✨ NAME ✨

impressive-display — Fullscreen PDF Display Session Manager 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

impressive-display

That's it bestie, that's the whole vibe. No args, no flags, just vibes. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: impressive-display is literally just a wrapper around impressive, and its whole main character job is turning a whole system into a PDF based display terminal. 💅

It registers itself as an x-session-manager alternative — yes, like an actual session you can pick — and serves up a very minimal X11 session. Before it drops the actual presentation, it launches:

  • matchbox-window-manager (always, she's essential 💖)
  • pulseaudio — if requested 🔊
  • unclutter — if requested 🧹

…and then it starts a fullscreen PDF, image, and video presentation. Slay. No cap, that's the entire flex. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Plot twist: impressive-display ignores all given command line options. Like, all of them. She said "not today, arguments." 🙈

So where do you actually configure things? Not on the command line, bestie:

  • System-wide config — /etc/default/impressive-display 👑
  • Per-user overrides — $HOME/.impressive-display/config 🫶

That's the whole config situation. Configure it in the files, not in the args. Periodt. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • /etc/default/impressive-display
