The most common configuration options are available directly from the
main GUI tool.
Simply run xpra
and click on the Configure
button, or run the subcommand: xpra configure
.
Most other important xpra settings 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 can be shown using xpra --help
, 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 environment variables)
Starting with version 6.3, settings can be changed permanently from the command line:
xpra set dpi 120
To erase this setting:
xpra unset dpi
The exact location of the configuration files varies widely from platform to platform, and even from one version of the OS to another.
/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 detailsXpra.app/Contents/Helpers/Path_info
which will show the
file locations, the default location for user configuration files should
be ~/Library/Application Support/Xpra
you can also use -
~/.config/xpra
Path_info.exe
tool found in the
Xpra installation folderYou 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.
