I have just installed Screenlets and the extra widget package thru software center.

Now I have gotten a little problem with a widget and therefore I want to reset the screenlet widget.

However I can not find the configuration files. I have looked in /home/~/.screenlets, but the folder is empty.

Does anyone knows where the config/properties for the widgets are stored?

The configuration for individual screenlets is stored in ~/.config/screenlets/ per the XDG Base Directory Specification. The actual screenlets are (non-compliantly) stored in ~/screenlets/.

Refer to the official FAQ for more details.

  • **UPDATE:** (tested for ***Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity***) If you are running **Screenlets v0.1.5** (latest), there should configuration files in: '**~/.config/screenlets/**'. The old directory may still exist, for backwards compatibility. – david6 Nov 28 '11 at 01:05
  • I found the files in /.config/screenlets. Thank you very much. – Fredrik Nov 28 '11 at 11:23

You are looking for: $HOME/.screenlets.

Did you look (under the command line) for ~/.screenlets

OR

did you use Nautilus, enable "Show Hidden Files", and look for folder: .screenlets ?
