DESCRIPTION

       Clawsker is an applet to edit the so called Claws Mail hidden preferences.

       Claws Mail is a fast, lightweight and feature-rich MUA with a high number of configurable
       options. To keep the binary small and fast some of these preferences which are not widely
       used are not provided with a graphical interface for inspection and/or modification.

       Users wanting to edit such preferences had to face raw editing of their configuration
       files, now you can do it with a convenient GTK interface using Clawsker.

       In adition to hidden features Clawsker can edit also some other settings which usually can
       only be set indirectly. These include currently the saved positions (and sizes when
       available) of Claws Mail windows, all hot key mappings from application menus, and history
       files for editable autosaving drop-down lists.

OPTIONS

-a | --alternate-config-dir dirname
Uses dirname as Claws Mail configuration directory.

-b | --verbose
Tells more on the standard output.

-c | --clawsrc filename
Uses filename as Claws Mail resource configuration file. This sets the full file name
overriding any previous setting.

-h | --help
Shows a brief help screen.

-i | --ignore-versions
Ignores any version detected or set by -u option. Almost all options will be
available.

-k | --hide-disabled-keys
On hotkeys columns sets foreground colour of unassigned keys to the same colour used
as background, rendering them invisible until selected. This may help locating
assigned keys on very long lists.

-r | --read-only
Edits hidden preferences without saving the changes. It also works while Claws Mail is
running.

-s | --small-screen
Resolution of display is autodetected to adjust UI for screens where default rendering
would exceed available space. This option forces those small screen adjustments. This
can be useful for screens where the UI fits resolution, but the screen state is
already used by other programs.

-u | --use-claws-version version
Uses version as Claws Mail version instead of the real one. The version argument is a
list of integers, separated by dots if needed.

-v | --version
Shows version information for program, Perl-GTK and Claws Mail.

Weird option specifications may produce weird results (but otherwise correct).

LIMITATIONS

       A running Claws Mail cannot be detected when using the --clawsrc option because the
       directory containing the given file is not expected to be a full Claws Mail configuration
       folder. If that is the case use the --alternate-config-dir option instead.

       Detection will also fail if the temporary directory resolution differs.  This may happen,
       for example, when the value of the environment variable TMPDIR, under Clawsker is not the
       same that it was when Claws Mail was launched. For Claws Mail versions greater than 3.17.8
       different values for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or XDG_CACHE_HOME may also cause this.
