💖 gnomekiss — a KiSS paper doll viewer for GNOME 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about gnomekiss(1), and honestly? she's iconic. this is the General Commands Manual page for her. yes, that's the manual name. we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

gnomekiss — a KiSS paper doll viewer for GNOME 🎀

like. that's the whole vibe. she views KiSS paper dolls. for GNOME. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gnomekiss [--help]

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. one flag. minimalism is the moment fr fr 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, real talk — this manual page documents briefly the gnomekiss command. and the tea on why this page exists at all: it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program doesn't have a manual page. not one. zero. nada. so the Debian girlies stepped up and wrote one. we love a community effort 🫶

now, what does gnomekiss actually do? she is a viewer for all KiSS paper dolls. all of them. every single one. and she's not doing the bare minimum either:

  • Cherry KiSS is supported ✅
  • Enhanced Palette is supported ✅
  • full alpha transparency — yes, the see-through is handled properly, no cap ✅
  • and FKiSS is supported too ✅

if you're trying to download dolls, the place to look is:

http://www.otakuworld.com/kiss/

bestie, that link is a whole doll library. a large one. you also get further infos there. it's giving treasure chest. it's giving infinite wardrobe. ✨

⚠️ okay important warning, please actually read this one: some dolls contain nudity. if you're downloading dolls for your children to play with, please carefully check that they are not adult stuff! like, actually check. do not skip this step. protect the little ones, bestie. 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

gnomekiss accepts the following options:

  • --help — show a summary of the options inherited from GNOME. that's the one. that's the list. she said "I have one option and it's the help flag." 👑

👑 AUTHOR 👑

shoutout to the author, the main character, the one who made this all happen:

Nick Lamb

(yes, the original says "Word-Wide-Web." we're preserving that exactly, don't @ me, it's charming. 💜)

and once again for the people in the back: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page — but may be used by others. so like, if you're not on Debian, you can still use this page. she's generous like that. 🌈

📜 HISTORY 📜

the lore. the timeline. the origin story:

  2. 26 October 2001 — Amaya Rodrigo <amaya@debian.org> is now responsible for developing and maintaining this manual page. passing the torch, as one does. 🔥
