Hi,
I’m trying Manjaro side to a Linux Mint installation (two different partitions but same /home with different users).
I’d like to use an user already set (mail, firefox, settings…) but when I log in with this user on xfce, no problem but I can’t get the standard manjaro theme.
I tried to erase ~/.config/xfce4, I tried to create a new user, copied .config to my user but nothing works.
I googled the problem but I just found how to get a new xcfe setting. I also looked at /etc/skel but no success by copying /etc/skel/* to ~
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english
Yves
Welcome to the forum!
Are you sure about that? On my system, it contains hidden directories and files, but it’s definitely not empty.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I’m stupid : I also have hidden files.
I tried to copy them in my directory but no success.
I guess I have configuration files somewhere so xfce doesn’t use the default files.
I tried to check with a newly created user but I can’t find which one
I don’t have any experience with XFCE, but normally your configuration files would be under ~/.config
and ~/.local
. Certain applications may however store their configuration in a hidden directory of their own.
