✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the kitten Manual 💖 — this page is kitten-desktop-ui-set-setting, and it's literally here to Change an arbitrary setting 👑 no cap.

🚀 USAGE 🚀

kitten desktop-ui set-setting key [value]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Set an arbitrary setting. That's the whole vibe. ✨

If you want to set the color-scheme, use the dedicated command for it. Not this one, bestie. 🙈

Use this command with care as it does no validation for the type of value. It's giving "main character energy" but also "chaos gremlin energy" — so be careful. 💀

The syntax for specifying values is described at: the glib docs. Go read those if you need the deets, iykyk. 📚

Leaving out the value or specifying an empty value, will delete the setting. Poof, gone, no take-backs. 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --namespace, -n [=org.freedesktop.appearance] — The namespace in which to change the setting. That's the little world where your setting lives, and the default is org.freedesktop.appearance if you don't say otherwise. 🌈
• --data-type — The DBUS data type signature of the value. The default is to guess from the textual representation, see the glib docs for details. It's basically reading your mind, but for types. 🔮
• --help, -h [=no] — Show help for this command. Your lil "wait, how does this work again?" button. 🎀
