in Plasma5, some settings are condensed in theme packs called look and feel packages, that include things such default layout, widget style, icon theme... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX5HwumKPP8 here is a little video tutorial how to do them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hac3c6fADQM there is an utility in Plasma 5.8/5.9 called lookandfeelexplorer, that can create a l&f package that exports the current settings values supported by it (included default plasmoids layout). for distributions with a custom look, it's advised to create one of them. then the only config key you have to replace is in kdeglobals [KDE] LookAndFeelPackage=org.whonix.yourthemename where org.whonix.yourthemename is the name of your package (folder name and plugin name in its metadata.desktop) > [4] > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50kde-sounds-off > > if [ -z "$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" ]; then > XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg > fi > export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/kde-sounds-off/:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS > > [5] > /usr/share/kde-sounds-off/knotifyrc sounds and notifications configurations are not supported in the look and feel packages, so you still need to do this -- Marco Martin
