If you have created your own color profile (and named it something), you ought to find that it relates to here. Whatever you set here (I *believe*) changes the values here: /home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/tdm/trinity.kcsrc /home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals Following this last file, in the same folder, I also have: kdeglobalsiHiNP9.new kdeglobalsJWjdaa.new kdeglobals.locklq06XV.tmp kdeglobalso5Mlei.new kdeglobalsuotrUb.new But all but one of these are empty documents. They mostly appear to be left over from my KDE3 desktop, circa 2005/2006 or so; or, when I finally jumped ship to escape the rotten Apples and Windoze and other proprietary stuff. I say "I believe" throughout, because I haven't done much of anything with these settings since then, and only vaguely recall how they seem to fit together with these other places.
