✨ LXQT-CONFIG-APPEARANCE(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the LXQt Appearance Settings page πŸ’– this is the manual for lxqt-config-appearance, part of LXQt: The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment. yes she's a mouthful, yes she's iconic πŸ‘‘


🌸 NAME 🌸

lxqt-config-appearance β€” the GUI appearance application of LXQt: The Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

lxqt-config-appearance

that's it. no flags required, she just launches πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So with this app you can set and configure the Qt / LXQt GUI appearance. And when I say configure, I mean configure β€” the options include:

  • the widget style
  • the color palette
  • the application toolbar
  • the icon theme
  • the LXQt theme
  • the font
  • the cursor
  • and optionally the GTK 2/3 style

like, she does it all. main character energy fr fr 🫢

Now here's the lore. On Linux/Unix, the look of a GUI application depends on the toolkit it is based on. For LXQt, the overall look of many apps relies on the Qt framework GUI. That's literally the whole reason lxqt-config-appearance exists β€” it provides all aspects of configuring the appearance of the LXQt desktop. no cap ✨

And the rest of it? All the remaining major aspects of LXQt appearance rely on the active Qt widget style, because the LXQt DE is based on the Qt framework. so the widget style is lowkey running the whole show 🌈


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -v, --version β€” displays version information. she tells you who she is πŸ’–
  • -h, --help β€” displays help on command line options. for when you're lost, bestie, we've all been there πŸ™ˆ
  • --help-all β€” displays help, including generic Qt options. the deluxe edition of help, the extended cut, the director's commentary πŸ”₯
