XFCE4-DISPLAY-SETTINGS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

xfce4-display-settings — display settings for Xfce 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the xfce4-display-settings(1) manual page, the user-commands one, and yes we're gonna read the whole thing together, no skimming, no scrolling past the "boring" bits (there are no boring bits, it's all iconic) 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

🌸 Usage 🌸

so the vibe is literally just:

xfce4-display-settings [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the whole thing. run it, pass it some options, slay ✨

🎀 Help Options 🎀

these are your little "wait what does this do" besties:

• -h, --help — shows you the help options. the classic. the moment.
• --help-all — shows you all the help options, every last one, no gatekeeping 🫶
• --help-gtk — shows you the GTK+ Options specifically, for when you need the GTK+ lore

💜 GTK+ Options 💜

ok so these are the GTK+ options, they're part of the help family above but they get their own lil section and honestly they deserve it:

• --class=CLASS — the program class, as used by the window manager. that's your window manager's whole reference point for this thing, bestie.
• --name=NAME — the program name, as used by the window manager. same deal, different label.
• --screen=SCREEN — which X screen to use.
• --sync — makes X calls synchronous. yes literally, synchronous, that's the whole description, we love a short king 👑
• --gtk-module=MODULES — loads additional GTK+ modules. more modules, more power, no cap.
• --g-fatal-warnings — makes all warnings fatal. like, every single one. dramatic? maybe. but it's right there in the spec so I'm not gonna pretend otherwise 💀

🔥 Application Options: 🔥

and now the main character section, the application options, the ones you actually came here for:

• -s, --socket-id=SOCKET ID — settings manager socket. that's the socket ID for the settings manager, fr fr.
• -v, --version — version information. you wanna know what version you're on, this is how you find out.
• -m, --minimal — minimal interface, for setting up an external output. lowkey minimal, highkey useful 🧚
• --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use.

ngl bestie, if you're reaching for --g-fatal-warnings just know it does exactly what it says and there's no soft-launch version of that. warnings become fatal. periodt. 💀
