    # Manjaro Linux xsettingsd notes

    ## Install

    `pamac install xsettingsd`

    ## systemctl

    The service is [expected to be per-user](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2097835#p2097835) as opposed to system-wide.
    Include a `--user` arg when working with `systemctl`.

    ### Check status

    `systemctl --user status xsettingsd`

    ### Start service

    `systemctl --user start xsettingsd`

    The service will die right away if it cannot find a config file.
    Check the status to see if it actually started.

    Config at `~/.config/xsettingsd/xsettingsd.conf`
    Example contents (from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xsettingsd):
    ```
    Xft/Hinting 1
    Xft/HintStyle "hintslight"
    Xft/Antialias 1
    Xft/RGBA "rgb"
    ```
