Qt Design Studio stores its settings in a .ini file.

The settigns file has different location depeneding on the platform.

Windows:

<USER HOMEFOLDER\AppData\Roaming\QtProject\QtDesignStudio.ini

Linux/Mac:

<USER HOME DIRECTORY>/.config/QtProject/QtDesignStudio.ini

All persistent settings are stored in this .ini file. Qt Design Studio can be started with the argument -settingspath <path>. This way settings can be stored in a different folder. This is useful if you want to experiment with settings or you suspect that you settings broke something.

Useful settings:
