<p>AFAIK those options are what</p>

<p>Is there any specific library which could read these files ??</p></div>

<p>AFAIK this is not necessary. The configuration here simply specifies the default values for the properties used until overwritten during runtime.<br />
So storing it in whatever format and applying them on device discovery is fine.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D20186">https://phabricator.kde.org/D20186</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>atulbi, ngraham, romangg, davidedmundson, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>fvogt, GB_2, jriddell, knambiar, plasma-devel, jraleigh, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
