Plasma configs and xdg

Hello everyone!

I’ve copied my plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc into /etc/xdg folder, but when create a new user, this config doesn’t applying to it. When it placed in /etc/skel config applies successfull. How to correctly make config to apply it via xdg?

Here’s my conf:

You can’t, Plasma just won’t read it from there.

I think the proper way to create a custom default Plasma setup is to create a look-and-feel package:
https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Create_a_Look_and_Feel_Package

Copy it to /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/ and set it as default in /etc/xdg/plasmarc.

Or stick to using /etc/skel/, which will be copied to the new users home if you create one.

Thank you so much! This is a very helpful information for me.
