• -p|--port= client:port — MIDI Destination Port. where the MIDI goes.
• -h|--help — prints a summary of the command-line options and exits. handy!
• -v|--version — prints the program version number and exits. version check slay.
• -style= style — sets the application GUI style. Possible values are motif, windows, and platinum. If you compiled Qt with additional styles, or you have additional styles as plugins, these will be available to the -style command line option. aesthetic choices!
• -stylesheet= stylesheet — sets the application styleSheet. The value must be a path to a file that contains the Style Sheet. Note: relative URLs in the Style Sheet file are relative to the Style Sheet file's path.
• -session= session — restores the application from an earlier session. time travel but make it desktop.
• -widgetcount — prints a debug message at the end about the number of widgets left undestroyed and the maximum number of widgets that existed at the same time. widget gossip, honestly.
• -reverse — sets the application's layout direction to Qt::RightToLeft. flip it, reverse it.
• -graphicssystem — sets the backend to be used for on-screen widgets and QPixmaps. Available options are raster and opengl. backend vibe check.
• -display display — sets the X display (default is $DISPLAY). screen selection moment.
• -geometry geometry — sets the client geometry of the first window that is shown. window shape tea.
• -fn|-font font — defines the application font. The font should be specified using an X logical font description. font queen behavior.
• -bg|-background color — sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated). background serve.
• -fg|-foreground color — sets the default foreground color. foreground era.
• -btn|-button color — sets the default button color. button moment.
• -name name — sets the application name. name tag energy.
• -title title — sets the application title. window title main character.

• -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. If count is 216, then a 6x6x6 color cube is used (i.e. 6 levels of red, 6 of green, and 6 of blue); for other values, a cube approximately proportional to a 2x3x1 cube is used. color cube lore.
• -cmap — causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display. private palette, exclusive.
• -im — sets the input method server (equivalent to setting the XMODIFIERS environment variable). input method server said hi.
• -inputstyle — defines how the input is inserted into the given widget, e.g., onTheSpot makes the input appear directly in the widget, while overTheSpot makes the input appear in a box floating over the widget and is not inserted until the editing is done. typing with drama.
