## Description

Interactions with settings from gimprc.

## Functions

### gimp_gimprc_query ()

    gchar *
    gimp_gimprc_query (const gchar *token);

Queries the gimprc file parser for information on a specified token.

This procedure is used to locate additional information contained in the gimprc file considered extraneous to the operation of GIMP. Plug-ins that need configuration information can expect it will be stored in the user gimprc file and can use this procedure to retrieve it. This query procedure will return the value associated with the specified token. This corresponds _only_ to entries with the format: (<token> <value>). The value must be a string. Entries not corresponding to this format will cause warnings to be issued on gimprc parsing and will not be queryable.

#### Parameters

token | The token to query for. |

#### Returns

The value associated with the queried token.

### gimp_gimprc_set ()

    gboolean
    gimp_gimprc_set (const gchar *token,
                     const gchar *value);

Sets a gimprc token to a value and saves it in the gimprc.

This procedure is used to add or change additional information in the gimprc file that is considered extraneous to the operation of GIMP. Plug-ins that need configuration information can use this function to store it, and `gimp_gimprc_query()` to retrieve it. This will accept _only_ string values in UTF-8 encoding.

#### Parameters

token | The token to add or modify. |
value | The value to set the token to. |

#### Returns

TRUE on success.

### gimp_get_color_configuration ()

    GimpColorConfig *
    gimp_get_color_configuration (void);

Retrieve a copy of the current color management configuration.

#### Returns

A copy of the core's GimpColorConfig. You should unref this copy if you don't need it any longer.

Since: 2.4

### gimp_get_default_comment ()

    gchar *
    gimp_get_default_comment (void);

Get the default image comment as specified in the Preferences.

Returns a copy of the default image comment.

#### Returns

Default image comment.

### gimp_get_default_unit ()

    GimpUnit
    gimp_get_default_unit (void);

Get the default unit (taken from the user's locale).

Returns the default unit's integer ID.

#### Returns

Default unit.

Since: 2.4

### gimp_get_module_load_inhibit ()

    gchar *
    gimp_get_module_load_inhibit (void);

Get the list of modules which should not be loaded.

Returns a copy of the list of modules which should not be loaded.

#### Returns

The list of modules.

### gimp_get_monitor_resolution ()

    gboolean
    gimp_get_monitor_resolution (gdouble *xres,
                                 gdouble *yres);

Get the monitor resolution as specified in the Preferences.

Returns the resolution of the monitor in pixels/inch. This value is taken from the Preferences (or the windowing system if this is set in the Preferences) and there's no guarantee for the value to be reasonable.

#### Parameters

xres | X resolution. |
yres | Y resolution. |

#### Returns

TRUE on success.

### gimp_get_theme_dir ()

    gchar *
    gimp_get_theme_dir (void);

`gimp_get_theme_dir` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

There is no replacement for this procedure.

Get the directory of the current GUI theme.

Returns a copy of the current GUI theme dir.

#### Returns

The GUI theme dir.

### gimp_get_icon_theme_dir ()

    gchar *
    gimp_get_icon_theme_dir (void);

`gimp_get_icon_theme_dir` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

There is no replacement for this procedure.

Get the directory of the current icon theme.
