✨ NAME ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 Usage:

xfce4-panel [OPTION...] [ARGUMENTS...]

that's the whole shape of it, bestie. options first, arguments after, and yes you can pass both. lowkey simple, highkey powerful.

---

🎀 Help Options:

like, if you're ever lost (same), these are your safe space:

• -h, --help — shows you the help options. the classic. the moment. 💖
• --help-all — shows all the help options, no secrets kept from you.
• --help-gtk — shows you the GTK+ Options, for when you wanna get specific.
• --help-sm-client — shows the session management options. niche but valid. ✨

🦋 GTK+ Options

these are the GTK+ options, and they're giving very much "under the hood but make it fashion":

• --class=CLASS — the program class, as used by the window manager.
• --name=NAME — the program name, as used by the window manager.
• --screen=SCREEN — which X screen to use. pick your screen, bestie.
• --sync — makes X calls synchronous. (yes this is the debugging one. don't @ me.)
• --gtk-module=MODULES — loads additional GTK+ modules.
• --g-fatal-warnings — makes all warnings fatal. 🔥 dramatic? yes. intentional? also yes.

---

🌈 Session management options

• --sm-client-id=ID — the session management client ID. it's giving ✨identity✨.
• --sm-client-disable — disables session management. sometimes you just wanna be free.

---

👑 Application Options:

okay THIS is the main character section. the actual panel business:

• -p, --preferences=PANEL-NUMBER — shows the 'Panel Preferences' dialog. pass it a panel number, get your settings era.
• -a, --add-items=PANEL-NUMBER — shows the 'Add New Items' dialog. new items, new you. 💅
• -s, --save — saves the panel configuration. be responsible bestie, save your work. 🫶
• --add=PLUGIN-NAME — adds a new plugin to the panel. name the plugin, get the plugin.
• -r, --restart — restarts the running panel instance. she's back and she's refreshed. 🌸
• -q, --quit — quits the running panel instance. goodbye queen, you served.
• -d, --disable-wm-check — do not wait for a window manager on startup. impatient? valid.
• -V, --version — prints version information and exits. the classic "who am i" move.
