✨ ayatana-settings — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ayatana-settings, section 8 of the manuals, brought to you by the Ayatana Indicators Settings crew 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ayatana-settings — fine-tune the behaviour of Ayatana System Indicators 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ayatana-settings [ options ]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, first things first: what even are Ayatana (System) Indicators? they're a whole set of notification tray icons, and they show up for desktop environments that provide an Indicator Renderer applet. that's the vibe. 🫶

and the way that works is — with Ayatana System Indicators, users get easy access to a bunch of system properties and settings. we're talking (e.g.) sound, events, messages and notifications, session management, bluetooth, etc. etc. the whole little toolkit, no cap. 🔥

now ayatana-settings itself? it's a graphical tool that supplements your desktop environment's control center / settings area. it lets you fine-tune the behaviour of Ayatana System Indicators. it's giving "settings app for your settings app", and honestly? iconic. 👑

⭐ COMMON OPTIONS ⭐

okay here's the part where you brace yourself for a giant list of flags and... nope. plot twist:

ayatana-settings does not have any command line options — except those provided by standard GTK applications. that's it. that's the list. she's a GUI girlie, not a terminal girlie. 💀
