The +intent of this is to allow users to override values of programmatically +determined settings (such as 'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu') and to allow +developers to introduce new XSETTINGS for testing (without having to kill the +gnome-settings-daemon running in the session and run their own patched +version). + +The type of the overrides is 'a{sv}'. + +The key gives the full XSETTINGS setting name to override (for example, +'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu'). The value is one of the following: + + - a string ('s') for the case of a string XSETTING + + - an int32 ('i') for the case of an integer XSETTING + + - a 4-tuple of uint16s ('(qqqq)') for the case of a color XSETTING + +Dictionary items with a value that is not one of the above types will be +ignored. Specifically note that XSETTINGS does not have a concept of +booleans -- you must use an integer that is either 0 or 1. + +An example setting for this key (as expressed in GVariant text format) +might be: + + { 'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': < 0 >, 'Xft/DPI': < 98304 > } + +Noting that variants must be specified in the usual way (wrapped in <>). + +Note also that DPI in the above example is expressed in 1024ths of an +inch. |
