Most xpra features can be configured from the command line or through xpra’s configuration files.
You can find some example configuration files here: sample /etc/xpra/ directory
The configuration files use the exact same format as the command line
options, which is documented in the manual page, just without the
--
prefix.
The manual is also shipped with all binary installations and should be
easily accessible. (ie: man xpra
)
(some more obscure features can be configured using environmentent variables)
The exact location of the configuration files varies widely from
platform to platform, and even from one version of the OS to another. *
for unix-like operating systems, the system configuration files can
usually be found in /etc/xpra
and the per-user settings can
be placed in ~/.config/xpra
- you can also run the
xpra/platform/paths.py
script for more details * on Mac OS
X, we ship a command line tool found under
Xpra.app/Contents/Helpers/Path_info
which will show you the
file locations, the default location for user configuration files should
be ~/Library/Application Support/Xpra
you can also use -
~/.config/xpra
, although this is deprecated * on MS
Windows, you can run the Path_info.exe
tool found in the
Xpra installation folder
You should generally not edit the system default configuration files, as those may be overwritten whenever xpra is (re)installed. Use the per-user configuration files instead, or add your own configuration file.
