I was waiting for your response, because I had another detail to add; but you
seem to have found it on your own. The color scheme config file also resides
in this location:
~/.trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/color-schemes/HOW_YOU_NAMED_IT.kcsrc
So now I am sending two versions of my most recent color scheme config,
in .kcsrc (which is KDE3) and .kksrc (TDE) config files; they ought to be
almost the same, except that the TDE version has been subtly tweaked and
retweaked. Otherwise only the extension is changed.
If you want to change the color of the lower panel to match, as well, then you
need to use something like my source for background, which is an image file
of a Zen ink drawing, with lots of space and few details. I'm glad to share
that, too, though I have lost the source. (See attachments for my color
scheme config files.)
Regarding the whole theme, I'll look into it. I've never created a theme
before, other than how all the various config files in my system make it
look; but I would like to be able to use it myself in the future on other
machines, without having to go through so many steps. A tar.gz file, you say?
I'll study on how to create a theme.
