  • -h|--help — prints a summary of the command-line options and exits. your little cheat sheet moment ✨
  • -v|--version — prints the program version number and exits. just the number, then it's out 🫡
  • -style= style — sets the application GUI style. possible values are motif, windows, and platinum. and if you compiled Qt with additional styles, or you've got additional styles as plugins, those will also be available to the -style command line option. fancy 💅
  • -stylesheet= stylesheet — sets the application styleSheet. the value must be a path to a file that contains the Style Sheet. > note bestie: relative URLs inside the Style Sheet file are relative to the Style Sheet file's path. keep that in mind, iykyk 😭
  • -session= session — restores the application from an earlier session. it's giving time travel 🌈
  • -widgetcount — prints debug messages at the end about the number of widgets left undestroyed and the maximum number of widgets that existed at the same time. ngl that's a lot of widgets 🌸
  • -reverse — sets the application's layout direction to Qt::RightToLeft. mirror mode activated 🪞
  • -graphicssystem — sets the backend to be used for on-screen widgets and QPixmaps. available options are raster and opengl. pick your fighter ⚔️
  • -display display — sets the X display (default is $DISPLAY). 💻
  • -geometry geometry — sets the client geometry of the first window that is shown. it's giving window realness 🎀
  • -fn|-font font — defines the application font. the font should be specified using an X logical font description. sounds complicated but it ate 🔥
  • -bg|-background color — sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated). the math is mathing 💜

  • -name name — sets the application name. identity ✨
  • -title title — sets the application title. ✨
  • -visual TrueColor — forces the application to use a TrueColor visual on an 8-bit display. forcing it, no notes 💀
  • -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. so 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. the color cube lore goes crazy 🌈
  • -cmap — causes the application to install a private color map on an 8-bit display. private!! exclusive!! 👑
  • -im — sets the input method server (equivalent to setting the XMODIFIERS environment variable). 🧚
  • -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 it is not inserted until the editing is done. floating box energy 🦋
