Kernel Settings
How settings works.
The kernel is extensively configurable. It allows you to customize your kernel to fit your needs across all areas, ranging from general kernel settings to networking to screensavers. It's an exciting feature!
How it works?
The kernel configuration files are stored in the below software paths (Paths.AppDataPath under the KS.Files namespace):
Windows:
%localappdata%\KS\Linux:
~/.config/ks/
When the kernel starts up, different configuration files are read for different purposes.

The below settings paths describe the purpose and the type of each (with all the addons).
Settings
The kernel provides an easy-to-use tool to seamlessly configure the kernel settings. It can be easily invoked using the settings command. Running this command alone provides you with the normal kernel settings.
Starting from 0.1.0.5, you can easily migrate most of your kernel configuration, including your speed dial settings, from the old format that 0.0.16.0 introduced back on 2021. Just open the settings app and select "Migrate old configuration."
Available modes via command switches
The following switches will change the mode:
-saver
Lets you configure the screensavers.
-addonsaver
Lets you configure the screensavers from the Extra Screensavers addon.
-splash
Lets you configure the splashes.
-addonsplash
Lets you configure the splashes from the Extra Splashes addon.
-driver
Lets you configure the kernel drivers.
-widgets
Lets you configure the kernel widgets for the lock screen.
-type=configType
Lets you configure a custom section of the kernel settings, including your mod-defined ones.
Section selection
Selecting a section leads to the settings application listing all the available configuration options, which you can then set their individual options. It even allows you to save the settings if you like the current configuration, load the user settings, and find a settings entry for easier access.
You can change the kernel settings section by either pressing F9 in the modern settings interface or by highlighting the Select configuration option in the classic settings interface.
Settings on your shell
This feature is useful for your UESH scripts and for your quick shortcut to change your settings.
You can change the kernel settings and list them using the following available commands:
lsconfigs
This command allows you to list all configurations and their entries.
lsconfigvalues
This command allows you to list all configuration keys and their values.
getconfigvalue
This command allows you to get a config value by the variable name.
setconfigvalue
This command allows you to set a config value by the variable name to the specified value.
