xsettingsd's Issues

dump_xsettings produces settings that xsettingsd can't parse

Original issue 2 created by derat on 2014-05-19T12:47:09.000Z:

On my system, dump_xsettings generates the line:

Gtk/RecentFilesMaxAge -1

which causes xsettingsd to bomb out with the error:

xsettingsd: Unable to parse ~/.xsettingsd 1: Got invalid setting value

Package from current Debian unstable - Version: 0.0.20121210+72+g474f18a-1

Release

Hi,

For easier distro packing it would be useful if xsettingsd had a release/tag. It seems the code has stabilized for some time as well.

Thanks for xsettingsd,
Alad

locate, test and add more avilable xsettings as documentation

I have read the Xsettings Freedesktop Specification and am not really able to find documentation about available settings online.

The specification states:

Names beginning with 'Net/' and case variants of that string are reserved and must not be used without prior agreement.

But there is no documentation on how or where to find or do these agreements.

I also get that everything else is depending on the specific Application(-framework) and i can likely find documentation there.
For example the GTK settings from the documentation can probably be translated directly, by changing the first - to a / and converting the rest to UpperCamelCase/PascalCase.
But I am also a bit lost there: What about Xft? Xft stands for X font library and the only documentation i can find is the Freedesktop Specification. The GTK documentation only provides the options, that are already in the Wiki. Unless I or someone else finds anything else, I'll just guess that's it.

I'm sorry if this not the right place for asking this.

Request for a GUI

It would be very interesting to have a GUI for editing the settings and previewing them.

Any chance of adding one?

Cursor theme changes

Thanks for xsettingsd, has been really helpful in making theme changes/reloads in a WM environment (XMonad currently, for me)!

One setting which seems funky is Gtk/CursorThemeName: upon changing and sending HUP to xsettingsd, the mouse cursor theme does change, but not everywhere. Perhaps this is more of a GTK or X thing? So most programs will update the cursor theme, but not over root (background).

However, if I open lxappearance, without changing anything just opening the program, the mouse cursor is updated. Perhaps it is a GTK/X thing, as current emacs needs a manual set-mouse-color to pickup the change, but not in newer pgtk builds. Not sure how this should work for the mouse theme on the desktop in general, or what lxappearance is doing. My quick look at the code just shows it loading current settings, but via g_object stuff (sorry, not a GTK person to know what's happening).

Is this something that xsettingsd can fix? Or is this something for the WM? Not sure what lxappearance has to do with it, but seems to be a clue that settings need some reload/refresh?

opening apps slowly (Cannot transform xsetting)

some apps open slowly (like clion, and all JetBrains IDEs)
firefox doesn't open

when opening clion from terminal there is an error with gtk, xsetting

Load settings from different config file

So, i was thinking if it is possible to load settings from a different file (let's say ~/.config/xsettingsd) rather than ~/.xsettingsd

(So we can have different look and feel in each window manager)

Something like : xsettingsd --config ~/.config/xsettingsd

Cursor size in OpenBox

Hello,
I change the cursor size but it seems openbox ignore it while with xfsettingsd it works properly.
May be using "Gtk/CursorThemeSize" is not the right option.

New release?

Now with a complete cmake build system merged (and a systemd unit added), I think it would make sense to tag a new release.

404 for https://developer.gnome.org/gtk/unstable/GtkSettings.html

Getting a 404 when I tried to open it.

I found this: https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html
Looking at https://developer.gnome.org/gtk/unstable/GtkSettings.html (with Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20210507005358/http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkSettings.html), it seems that it's the same page moved to a different address.

Or how about this? https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.Settings.html. I find this one is not a single page like the two links above, which I don't prefer.

Thoughts?

Changing font type/size?

I can't seem to find the option to configure gtk-font-name. I think it would be nice to have.
Something like:
Net/FontName 'Ubuntu 12'
