preferences.rs

1//! The preferences every application of a family shares: language, theme and icons.
2//!
3//! The family's shared file holds one value of each, and each application's own file either
4//! names its own value or the family's id, which means "use the shared one":
5//!
6//! ```toml
7//! # quvyta.conf
8//! language = "tr"
9//! theme = "monochrome"
10//! icons = "nerd"
11//!
12//! # code.conf
13//! language = "quvyta"
14//! theme = "nordic"
15//! ```
16//!
17//! [`Family::preferences`] resolves each key on its own, in this order:
18//!
19//! 1. the application's value, when it is anything but the family's id;
20//! 2. the shared file's value, when the application's value is the family's id or the key is
21//!    missing from the application's file;
22//! 3. the value detected on this machine, when the shared file does not hold one either.
23//!
24//! [`Family::set`] changes one key for the whole family or for one application, and
25//! [`Family::follow`] puts one application back on the family's value without touching it.
