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 libraries. 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 antialiasing/hinting, and
UI sound effects.
Additional documentation is available at the project's website: https://github.com/derat/xsettingsdExample
Running dump_xsettings(1) while another XSETTINGS daemon, such as gnome-settings-daemon, is already
running will print your current settings 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"
