Trinity Desktop Environment stores settings in its own dot folder plus XDG config paths on Linux. Panel, menu and session prefs live there from its KDE 3 lineage. Modern XDG names sit beside legacy ones.

Back up the Trinity folders to move the setup. Exact names vary by distribution packaging, so confirm inside the control center when paths differ. Log out before copying for clean state.
