Where are Big screen's config files?

Help
1

I’m looking for the config files for big screen, specifically for screen locking. I looked under ~/.config, but the big screen configs were limited and none had any screen locking variables. Anyone know?

2

We share many configs with Plasma Desktop, see ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc for screen locker settings

I checked ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc, it obviously has my desktop settings, but Big Screen is not using these settings. For instance, the lock screen clock disappears on desktop, while on Big Screen it stays. I apologize for the bad photo.

We currently in Bigscreen don’t actually honor these config options right now, but it’s worth reporting as a feature request: Reporting Issues - Plasma Bigscreen

That’s too bad, I’ll definitely add a feature request though. Out of curiosity, where is Big Screen sourcing its config from, then?

We use kscreenlocker (with our own theme), so it is reading ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc.

There are some Bigscreen-specific configs, everything else is otherwise shared with Plasma Desktop:

  • .config/plasma-bigscreen-inputhandlerrc - input daemon
  • .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.bigscreen-appletsrc - bigscreen-specific applets/homescreen config
  • .config/plasma-bigscreen - our own overrides of KDE configs in the Plasma Bigscreen shell

I appreciate the insight, thanks!
