xsettings: Remove HiDPI scale change workaround

2025-10-07T04:57:29+00:00

Remove the workaround that restarted mate-panel and marco when the HiDPI
scale changed. This is no longer necessary now that both components have
native support for dynamic scale changes.

The xsettings plugin now only manages the Gdk/WindowScalingFactor
XSetting itself. GTK applications receive the scale change through the
normal XSettings mechanism and update automatically via their
style-updated signal handlers.

This needs changes to mate-panel and marco to handle scale changes
dynamically:

xsettings: Add gsettings for custom XSettings overrides

2025-09-02T18:21:52+00:00

Add XSettings override gsettings to allow changing arbitrary XSettings
on GSettings without requiring code changes. This enables third-party
tools (like unity-gtk-module extensions) to integrate with MATE by
setting custom XSettings values at runtime.

The implementation adds an 'overrides' key to the xsettings plugin
schema which accepts a dictionary mapping XSetting names to values.

The complete list of XSettings is over at

plugins: add missing x11 linker flags

2024-08-15T17:59:01+00:00

Many of the plugins depend on the libX11 and libXi linker flags, but
they are missing.

With GNU libtool the -no-undefined flag is silently ignored so the build
succeeds, but with slibtool is correctly sets -Wl,--no-undefined in the
linker flags.

xsettings: Set Xft.dpi in X resources to scaled_dpi

2021-04-26T05:58:04+00:00

This makes it match Xft/DPI in XSETTINGS. Applications relying on Xft.dpi
on HiDPI screens will now work correctly.

Behavior is now consistent with GNOME, relevant commits from gsd:
