Profiles are pre-set options that affect the whole look-and-feel of Elementary-based applications. There are, for example, profiles aimed at desktop computer applications and others aimed at mobile, touchscreen-based ones. You most probably don't want to use the functions in this group unless you're writing an elementary configuration manager.

void elm_config_profile_derived_add	(	const char *	profile,
		const char *	derive_options
	)

Add a new profile of the given name to be derived from the current profile

This creates a new profile of name profile that will be derived from the currently used profile using the modification commands encoded in the derive_options string.

At this point it is not expected that anyone would generally use this API except if you are a desktop environment and so the user base of this API will be enlightenment itself.

Parameters:

profile	The new profile's name
derive_options	A string of derive options detailing how to modify

See also:: elm_config_profile_derived_del

Since (EFL) :: 1.17

void elm_config_profile_derived_del ( const char * profile )

Deletes a profile that is derived from the current one

This deletes a derived profile added by elm_config_profile_derived_add(). This will delete the profile of the given name profile that is derived from the current profile.

At this point it is not expected that anyone would generally use this API except if you are a desktop environment and so the user base of this API will be enlightenment itself.

Parameters:

profile The profile's name that is to be deleted

See also:: elm_config_profile_derived_add

Since (EFL) :: 1.17

void elm_config_profile_dir_free ( const char * p_dir )

Free an Elementary's profile directory path, as returned by elm_config_profile_dir_get().

Parameters:

p_dir The profile's path

Since :: 2.3.1

const char* elm_config_profile_dir_get	(	const char *	profile,
		Eina_Bool	is_user
	)

Get an Elementary's profile directory path in the filesystem. One may want to fetch a system profile's dir or a user one (fetched inside $HOME).

Parameters:

profile	The profile's name
is_user	Whether to lookup for a user profile (`EINA_TRUE`) or a system one (`EINA_FALSE`)

Returns:: The profile's directory path.

Note:: You must free it with elm_config_profile_dir_free().

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Bool elm_config_profile_exists ( const char * profile )

Return if a profile of the given name exists

Returns:: EINA_TRUE if the profile exists, or EINA_FALSE if not

Parameters:

profile The profile's name

Since (EFL) :: 1.17

const char* elm_config_profile_get ( void )

Get Elementary's profile in use.

This gets the global profile that is applied to all Elementary applications.

Returns:: The profile's name

Since :: 2.3.1

void elm_config_profile_list_free ( Eina_List * l )

Free Elementary's list of available profiles.

Parameters:

l	The profiles list, as returned by elm_config_profile_list_get().

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_List* elm_config_profile_list_full_get ( void )

Get Elementary's list of available profiles including hidden ones.

This gets a full list of profiles even with hidden names that should not be user-visible.

Returns:: The profiles list. List node data are the profile name strings.

Note:: One must free this list, after usage, with the function elm_config_profile_list_free().

Since (EFL) :: 1.17

Eina_List* elm_config_profile_list_get ( void )

Get Elementary's list of available profiles.

Returns:: The profiles list. List node data are the profile name strings.

Note:: One must free this list, after usage, with the function elm_config_profile_list_free().

Since :: 2.3.1

void elm_config_profile_save ( const char * profile )

Take the current config and write it out to the named profile

This will take the current in-memory config and write it out to the named profile specified by profile. This will not change profile for the application or make other processes switch profile.

Parameters:

profile The profile's name

Since (EFL) :: 1.17

void elm_config_profile_set ( const char * profile )

Set Elementary's profile.

This sets the global profile that is applied to Elementary applications. Just the process the call comes from will be affected.

Parameters:

profile The profile's name

Since :: 2.3.1
