# Specify the backend to use: `xrender`, `glx`, or `egl`.

# Use higher precision during rendering, and apply dither when presenting the

# Default: false

# Default: false

# Default: false

# Use EWMH '_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW' to determine currently focused window,

# Default: false

# Use 'WM_CLIENT_LEADER' to group windows, and consider windows in the same

# Set the log level. Possible values are:
#  "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error"

# Set the log file.
# If *--log-file* is never specified, logs will be written to stderr.
