Create a Default Profile

Good afternoon,

Is there any way to leave preconfigured a "Default Profile" (theme, desktop, layout of icons, system settings, etc.) for whenever a new user login for the first time the settings are already ready?

This would be very useful to apply to users' computers here at the technology institute where I work.

Re: Create a Default Profile

As far as we know, Trinity doesn't enable that in some easy way. You could try to use the Dai_trying's theme backup tool https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4647#p4647 . A new user would have to restore pre-configured theme at the first login. The restore process might be automated by an autorun login script.

Another way could be to create a default set of config files from the $HOME/.trinity/share/config/ directory, pack it to a tarball, and make a login autorun script to restore it to a user's home directory at the first login.
