Where Does Kvantum Store Themes on Linux?
Kvantum theme folders and main config file with lookup priority on Linux.
Last updated
Kvantum picks themes through an ordered lookup. User config folders win, then home themes trees, then system share. The main kvconfig names the active theme.
Per-theme folders hold their own config plus SVG art. KDE color schemes sit separately in system share. Note the lowercase filename, which trips up tab completion.
Where Kvantum stores this, by platform
~/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig
Main kvconfig naming the active theme. Per-theme folders with SVG art beside it. User trees beat system share in lookup order. Filename is lowercase kvantum.kvconfig.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Kvantum?
Copy the Kvantum config folder with no Qt apps running. Per-theme configs and SVGs travel inside it. Restoring means putting the folder back and reselecting the theme.
