What file(s) should I edit/replace so that when a new user is created, things like background and appearance show up the way I specify? _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org Github: https://github.com/Gentoo-Music-and-Audio-Technology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decibellinux Discord: https://discord.gg/73XV24dNPN Last edited by audiodef on Sun Mar 04, 2018 2:18 pm; edited 1 time in total

Look at /etc/skel. Every file in this directory will be copied to new users when they are created.

Yup. /etc/skel is your best bet, but xfce seems to support some system-wide configs too.

Finally wrapped my head around /etc/skel. Sorry about my cranial density. _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org Github: https://github.com/Gentoo-Music-and-Audio-Technology Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decibellinux Discord: https://discord.gg/73XV24dNPN
