You can store them in Frontoolsconfigdirectory or indev/tools/frontools/config.
There is asetuptask to copy all sample config files from theconfigtodev/tools/frontools/configand create a convenient symlinktoolsin the project root.
If you want to keep config files inside frontoolsconfigdir, you have to handle this manually. - Define your themes in
themes.json.
