GtkSettings: Allow the user to override values (3.73 KB, patch)
2015-05-06 03:03 UTC, Garrett Regier 		none Details | Review

Description Garrett Regier 2015-05-06 03:01:06 UTC 
At times the user/developer wants to override various values. Currently the user's ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and environment variables can be overridden by XSettings and the application.

Note: This builds on Bug 748985 to make GTK_THEME override applications which set a custom value. Which actually brings back the full behavior prior to Bug 748985 as GTK_THEME was not application overridable.

Yeah, I've seen this coming when I looked at the previous patch :-(
Don't want it
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2015-05-06 03:29:06 UTC 
Users can use the control-center / desktop settings for this. Developers can use GtkInspector
