Where is my Splash Download

[mschraier]

Thru the system settings I downloaded a splash screen to try. Unfortunately, I do not know where it was downloaded to. Any ideas??

If you know the name of the theme, you could try:

locate theme-name

replacing theme-name with the name of the theme you downloaded.

To activate a spalsh theme, go to:
SystemSettings > Appearance > SplashScreen
The available themes should be in the list.

~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/

That is where they are on my system. The only other place I can think to look is:
/usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes

Perhaps, you don't set the view to show the hidden files. Open files browser (Dolphin), at menu bar there has a view pull-down menu, check the "show hidden file".

/usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes

I already downloaded many themes in system settings. But there is none in that folder. But the folder is there..

If you are talking of the KDE 4 splash (The Splash Screen is the animated image or screen that is displayed while KDE loads after you log in). System Settings > Appearance > Splash Screen > Get New Themes.


With the System Settings

As the "doctordruidphd" wrote they are downloaded to the "~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/". That is same as: "/home/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/".


With the package management /1/

They are installed to the "/usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/"


Many of the KDE splash screen are not working with the System Settings "Get New Themes" because they are using an external download page. More of that > Topic: Change the splash?
