👑 OPTIONS 👑

🍓 Arguments:

💜 KDE options:

• --caption <caption> — use 'caption' as the name in the titlebar.
• --icon <icon> — use 'icon' as the application icon. main character energy for your window fr.
• --config <filename> — use an alternative configuration file.
• --nocrashhandler — disable the crash handler, so you get core dumps. yes, that's the actual tradeoff, bestie — no cozy crash popup, just the raw dump.

• --style <style> — sets the application GUI style.
• --geometry <geometry> — sets the client geometry of the main widget — see man X for the argument format (usually WidthxHeight+XPos+YPos).

🌈 Qt options:

• --display <displayname> — use the X-server display 'displayname'.
• --session <sessionId> — restore the application for the given 'sessionId'.
• --cmap — causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display.
• --ncols <count> — limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification.
• --nograb — tells Qt to never grab the mouse or the keyboard. hands off, literally 🙈

• --im <XIM server> — set XIM server.

• --reverse — mirrors the whole layout of widgets. everything's backwards and it's lowkey a vibe 🪞
• --stylesheet <file.qss> — applies the Qt stylesheet to the application widgets.
• --graphicssystem <system> — use a different graphics system instead of the default one, options are raster and opengl (experimental). experimental, bestie — tread carefully 👀
