Xpra Configuration

Most xpra features 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 is documented in the manual page, 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)


Configuration Files Location

The exact location of the configuration files varies widely from platform to platform, and even from one version of the OS to another.


You 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.
