NAME

icewm-prefoverride - override themable preferences file

SYNOPSIS

$ICEWM_PRIVCFG/prefoverride
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/prefoverride
$HOME/.icewm/prefoverride
/etc/icewm/prefoverride
/usr/share/icewm/prefoverride

DESCRIPTION

Settings that override the settings from a theme. Some of the icewm
preferences that control the look may be set by the theme. However,
the settings in this prefoverride file override that. It is safe to
leave this file empty initially. Note that this file is meant for
themable preferences and a few icewm startup settings cannot be set
here, like "Splash".

FILES

Locations for the prefoverride file are as follows:

$ICEWM_PRIVCFG/prefoverride
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/prefoverride
$HOME/.icewm/prefoverride
/etc/icewm/prefoverride
/usr/share/icewm/prefoverride

The locations are searched in the order listed; the first file found
is read and the remainder ignored.
