ControlPanel(1)

📦 version 1.7.81, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 ControlPanel — like, the actual man page, bestie

Okay so real quick — this is ControlPanel(1), and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your man pages. We're gonna get into it, don't worry 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ControlPanel — configure desktop settings for FOX Toolkit applications 🎀

Like, it's the little control room where you make your FOX Toolkit apps look and feel the way you want. Main character energy for your desktop.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ControlPanel

That's it. No flags, no arguments, no weird little options to memorize. Just run it and go. Slay ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The ControlPanel lets you change the color themes, the fonts, and the file bindings of programs that are built with the FOX Toolkit.

That's the whole vibe. It's giving "one stop shop for making your FOX apps cute" and honestly? Obsessed 💅

🦋 USAGE 🦋

So when you open it up, ControlPanel has three tabs — and each one is its own little era, okay:

  • Themes — this tab is where you go to control the color themes, the individual colors, and the system font. Basically your whole aesthetic lives here 🎨
  • Bindings — this tab is for associating file extension-associations with a description, a command, and a mime-type. And yes bestie, the user can also assign icons — because a file with no icon is lowkey tragic 🙈
  • General — this tab controls some common parameters of FOX Toolkit programs, such as tooltip delay, mouse wheel speed, and so on. The little quality-of-life settings, y'know? 🍓

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Okay that's the whole page, you're all caught up. Now go forth and make your FOX Toolkit apps gorgeous ✨🦋

tl;dr — this page came out of the General Commands Manual, it's ControlPanel(1), and it's dated April 2021. Mwah, bye bestie! 💖🎀
