🌸 sawfish-ui β€” the Sawfish Configurator, bestie πŸ’…

okay so this is sawfish-ui(1), living in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? she's the vibe. Let's go. ✨


✨ NAME ✨

sawfish-ui β€” The Sawfish Configurator. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it gorgeously πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

sawfish-ui [ --group=GROUP-NAME ]  [ --flatten ]  [ --single-level ]  [
--socket-id=WINDOW-ID ]

look at her, four little flags, all optional, zero drama πŸ’œ


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so basically, this program can be used to invoke the GUI manually. like, with your own two hands. πŸ™Œ

and if GNOME is being used, then the GNOME Control Center can also be used to customize certain classes. two roads, same destination, iconic behavior fr fr.


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • --group GROUP-NAME β€” Display only GROUP-NAME. that's it. just that one group. tunnel vision, main character energy, no distractions πŸ’…

GROUP-NAME should be one of these names, and I need you to write them down exactly because she does NOT accept typo era:

  • Sawfish
  • Appearance
  • Bindings
  • Focus
  • Matched Windows
  • Minimizing/Maximizing
  • Miscellaneous
  • Move/Resize
  • Placement
  • Sounds
  • Workspaces
  • --flatten β€” display sub-groups inline instead of using a tree widget (good for control center). In normal tree item, don't put frame the widgets. yeah, I typed that exactly how she wrote it, no notes, we don't editorialize the queen πŸ™ˆ
  • --single-level β€” Don't display the tree widget. periodt. just... no tree. 🌸
  • --socket-id WINDOW-ID β€” This option allow the ui to be embedded in the gnome control center. This also disables the ok/cancel/etc buttons and enables a hacky protocol on stdin/stdout. she said "hacky" herself, I'm just the messenger, and honestly? a hacky little stdin/stdout protocol is lowkey iconic πŸ”₯
