that's in ~/.config/kdeglobals as well.
[KDE]
LookAndFeelPackage=your.package.name

you shouldn't have to touch the plasmashellrc file, (and if so, it's
bound to break)


And do I have to "dirty hack" (directly change the content of ) the
layout.js defined in the plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop to set up my
default desktop plasmoids and activities?

I want to setup the default activity / desktop layout and plasmoids /
default panels.  Do they all contain in the look-n-feel package?   The
above settings seem not to define in the /usr/share/plasma/look-n-feel/
folders.

yes, your look and feel package would have your edited layout.js file.
also check the application "lookandfeelexplorer" from the plasma-sdk repo.
you can create a rough package from whatever is your current
customized setup, then you continue editing the generated package from
there


I did run the look and feel explorer.  However it seems to define more
about the appearance like icon style, desktop theme, ...etc., which I've
successfully set up now.

everything should be installed as usual, no /usr/share/plasma
override, the only file needing override is kdeglobals

Is there a full list of what sections and properties defined in the
kdeglobals, plasmarc and plasmashellrc?


Thanks a lot for your reply!
