NAME

6       xsettingsd - provides settings to X11 applications

SYNOPSIS

9       xsettingsd [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       xsettingsd  is  a  daemon  that implements the XSETTINGS specification.
13       The typical invocation is from a user's ~/.xsession file.
14
15       It is intended to be small, fast, and minimally dependent on other  li‐
16       braries.  It  can  serve as an alternative to gnome-settings-daemon for
17       users who are not using the GNOME desktop environment but who still run
18       GTK+ applications and want to configure things such as themes, font an‐
19       tialiasing/hinting, and UI sound effects.
20
21       Additional  documentation  is  available  at  the  project's   website:

27
28       -h, --help
29              Display a help message and exit.
30
31       -s, --screen=SCREEN
32              Use  the  X  screen  numbered  SCREEN  (default  of -1 means all
33              screens).

EXAMPLE

39       Running dump_xsettings(1)  while  another  XSETTINGS  daemon,  such  as
40       gnome-settings-daemon,  is already running will print your current set‐
41       tings in xsettingsd's configuration file format.
42
43       Here is a short example ~/.xsettingsd file:
44
45       Net/ThemeName "Human"
46       Xft/Antialias 1
47       Xft/DPI 100352
48       Xft/HintStyle "hintfull"
49       Xft/Hinting 1
50       Xft/RGBA "none"
51       Xft/lcdfilter "none"
