XSETTINGSD(1) General Commands Manual XSETTINGSD(1)
NAME
xsettingsd - provides settings to X11 applications
SYNOPSIS
xsettingsd [options]
DESCRIPTION
xsettingsd is a daemon that implements the XSETTINGS specification.
The typical invocation is from a user's ~/.xsession file.
It is intended to be small, fast, and minimally dependent on other li-
braries. It can serve as an alternative to gnome-settings-daemon for
users who are not using the GNOME desktop environment but who still run
GTK+ applications and want to configure things such as themes, font an-
tialiasing/hinting, and UI sound effects.
Additional documentation is available at the project's website:

OPTIONS
-c, --config=FILE
Load settings from FILE (default is ~/.xsettingsd).
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit.
-s, --screen=SCREEN
Use the X screen numbered SCREEN (default of -1 means all
screens).

EXAMPLE
Running dump_xsettings(1) while another XSETTINGS daemon, such as
gnome-settings-daemon, is already running will print your current set-
tings in xsettingsd's configuration file format.
Here is a short example ~/.xsettingsd file:
Net/ThemeName "Human"
Xft/Antialias 1
Xft/DPI 100352
Xft/HintStyle "hintfull"
Xft/Hinting 1
Xft/RGBA "none"
Xft/lcdfilter "none"
