Configuration Files

LXQt Files#

Global configuration files are /etc/xdg/lxqt-qtxdg.conf/, /etc/xdg/lxqt/panel.conf and files in /usr/share/lxqt/ whereas user-specific configuration files are stored in ~/.config/lxqt/, the INI format is used. Direct editing should be avoided while running a LXQt session.
