Settings locations
No environment variables are used. All configuration is file based.
The customizing settings are stored in:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Libiry\customize\
- Linux: ~/.local/share/Libiry/customize/
The folder contents are: customize.txt, can be maintained from Libiry’s settings screen selected_types.txt, can be maintained from Libiry’s settings screen language_codes.txt, can only be maintained directly An icons folder, can only be maintained directly
The user settings are stored in:!!!
- Windows: C:\Users<username>.libiry\settings.json
- Linux: ~/.libiry/settings.json
To override an icon for a screen button, simply paste a new icon file with the same file name over the old one. When you made a mistake, you can safely remove your own icon from the customize folder. Libiry wil then use the icon from its resources folder.
