Most day-to-day Xpra settings can be changed from its graphical configuration tool. Open Xpra from your application menu, choose Configure, then choose the area you want to change: features, picture quality, packages, server components, or debugging.
The graphical tool is the best starting point because it describes the setting and saves the choice for you. Use the methods below when you need a repeatable change, want to manage settings remotely, or cannot use the graphical tool.
Use xpra set to save a single setting for your user account. For example,
this makes Xpra use a 120 DPI display scale:
xpra set dpi 120
Remove a saved setting and return to the default with:
xpra unset dpi
Run xpra --help or read the manual for the full list of settings available in
your installed Xpra version.
Most settings can also be passed on the command line or written in Xpra
configuration files. The setting names are the same as the command-line
options, but configuration files omit the leading --. For example:
min-quality=50
matches the command-line option --min-quality=50.
Example files are available in the
template /etc/xpra/ directory.
The installed manual is the reference for the version you are running; on most
Unix-like systems, open it with:
man xpra
Some less common features are configured through environment variables.
Use a per-user configuration file for your own settings. Do not normally edit system defaults because an Xpra upgrade may replace them.
/etc/xpra and per-user
files in ~/.config/xpra. Run xpra/platform/paths.py for exact locations.~/Library/Application Support/Xpra; ~/.config/xpra also works. Run
Xpra.app/Contents/Helpers/Path_info for the paths used by your installation.Path_info.exe from the Xpra installation folder.
