The Laxrc File

Here is a sample laxrc file. Its location will have been compiled in to the Laxkit. The default location is ~/.lax/(version)/laxrc. The laxrc file will not by default be written to by Laxkit programs, only read from.

There are a number of settings to define, after which you may include basic profiles, which will overwrite any previously defined setting, as long as the application wants to use that profile.

Todo:

directories and fonts are still basically unimplemented..

many windows still need to pay attention to some of these settings, like pad and bevel
