This file nowadays lives in (it seems) some mysterious place, hidden away from prying eyes. It used to be here: for original KDE3 /home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/kdm some Trinity config files /home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/tdm In some older TDE releases, this text file got changed to *.kksrc; I can't find current examples of this, though I could be wrong. When you save a color profile, TCC doesn't tell you where you save it; only when you try to import a profile, then you find that it looks for the extension *.kcsrc - but maybe this is because it's only importing the old config file, then saving with a different extension? The newer config files - if it is not using /home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/tdm/*.kcsrc - would seem to be located in one of these places: /opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg /opt/trinity/share/compizconfig /opt/trinity/share/compiz These are no longer just text files, however, but xml and other stuff, and I can't find anything that seems to correspond to the old *.kcsrc or *.kksrc config files. To preserve my color scheme (or create new ones), I used to save that file, *.kcsrc, rename it, then just import my saved copy into TCC / Appearance & Themes / Colors. But I actually haven't messed with this for several years now, and just leave well enough alone with my TDE colors. In any case, it would be good to know where TCC saves our color scheme config file. I also would like to create my own themes, when I have time, and upload them so that they are saved somewhere "out there" for use by others, as well as for my own backup.
