💖 polychromatic-controller(1) 💖

okay so bestie, you're looking at the General Commands Manual page for polychromatic-controller — say that three times fast, i dare you 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Polychromatic — RGB lighting management software for GNU/Linux 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

polychromatic-controller [OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this is the main graphical user interface part of Polychromatic, and it's built on PyQt5 — iconic behaviour honestly 💅 every single feature of the software is reachable from right here, no cap. like, this is the main character of the whole operation 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows you the help information. the classic "what does anything do" button, we love her 🎀
• -v, --verbose — prints more details about the application's operation. turn this on when you wanna know everything the app is doing, lowkey nosy but in a helpful way 🙈
• --version — prints version information, and it's giving a whole receipt 🧾:
  • Software version
  • Commit hash (when run from the repository directory)
  • Python version
  • Qt version
• --locale [lang] — force the application to display in a specific locale. for example, "fr_FR" or "nl" 🌍 so if you want your UI in french or dutch, this is your moment, slay
• --open [tab/dialog] — opens the software straight to a specific tab or dialog. no extra clicking, we go direct 💅
  • Tab: devices, effects
  • Dialog: preferences, troubleshoot, colours

heads up bestie: after a dialog is closed, the software will quit. so like, it's a "pop in, do the thing, and dip" situation 😭

and that's the whole page, fr fr — nothing skipped, nothing hidden 🦋

mwah 💖 thanks for reading, go make your keyboard look absolutely gorgeous 🌸
