Change font color of headers in Zim Wiki

Question

This mail archive entry describes how one can edit style.conf to change the color of headers in Zim Wiki.

1. Enter the color you like:

   [Tag h1]
   foreground=#b20000
   

2. Save the changes, close and reopen Zim Wiki, and you should be good.

However, nothing changes for me. I was wondering if this might be an issue with the Windows version? The mail archive entry mentions that on Ubuntu the file should be located at home/user/.config/zim/style.conf.

On Windows 10 with Zim Wiki 0.67, I have two such files, one in C:/Program Files (x86)/Zim Desktop Wiki/share/zim/style.conf and another in C:/Program Files (x86)/Zim Desktop Wiki/data/style.conf. Changes to these files do not show up after reopening Zim.

Edit: Indeed, the manual says to "copy /usr/share/zim/style.conf to ~/.config/zim/". However I am not sure what this means for Windows.

Answer 1

As Raphaël Doré kindly pointed out on github, style.conf should be placed in C:\Users\usr\AppData\Roaming\zim\config\zim. Changes will apply after closing and reopening zim.

Note that this worked for me, while for Raphaël the file had to be placed at C:\Users\usr\AppData\Roaming\zim\config\zim\profiles\Notes
