Comprehensive list of parameters for Xfwm themes' themerc file?

First time poster here!

I'm interested in doing a bit of Xfwm theming, however I am wondering if the Xfce Wiki lists all the possible parameters for the themerc file.

If not, does anyone know where I could look for more info on this.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Re: Comprehensive list of parameters for Xfwm themes' themerc file?

you can set (almost) all xfconf stings in the themerc so a more complete list would be

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -l | sed 's#/general/##'g | grep -Ev '(theme|workspace|wrap|snap|cycle|click|zoom|focus|raise|rollup|activate)'

Thank you, I'll have to do some more reading on this.

Can someone please help me find the description of what each of those configuration flags does? I can't seem to find this critical piece of information in the Official docs.

Re: Comprehensive list of parameters for Xfwm themes' themerc file?

These are all settings from the Window Manager and Window Manager Tweaks configuration applets. You can get their descriptions there or from there or from the documentation.

For example, "theme" corresponds with Settings Manager > Window Manager > Style > Theme.
"scroll_workspaces" corresponds with Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Workspaces >  "Use the mouse wheel..."

Are there any in particular that you are interested in?
