💖 NAME 💖

okay so mate-appearance-properties — it's a control center applet, bestie. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mate-appearance-properties [OPTIONS]... [WALLPAPER]...

like. you run it, you can throw some [OPTIONS] at it, you can hand it a [WALLPAPER] or a few. iconic. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so MATE Appearance Properties is a control center applet, and its whole job — its entire main character arc — is editing your appearance settings. 🦋

it lets you change, and I'm gonna list these because every single one matters:

• GTK theme
• window manager theme
• icon theme
• cursor theme
• desktop background
• font settings

that's it. that's the glow-up menu. lowkey the most powerful applet in the whole panel and nobody talks about it. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -i, --install-theme=FILENAME — tell it the filename of a theme you want to install. that's it, that's the assignment. 🍓
• -p, --show-page=PAGE — pick which page pops up first, by name. the names you can use are theme, background, fonts, and interface. yes those exact ones, no improvising. 🎀

okay that's the whole page!! it lives in the General Commands Manual, and the footer at the bottom is just the page name all over again — mate-appea...properties(1) — so no version number or date to hand you, sorry bestie, that's genuinely all it says. 💀 go change your cursor theme. you deserve it. 💜🌈⭐
