phosh is configured via GSettings, see phosh-config(5).

Plugins are configured via the mobi.phosh.plugins and sm.puri.phosh.plugins gsettings schema. The lock-screen key enables the plugins on the lock screen e.g.

gsettings set  sm.puri.phosh.plugins lock-screen "['ticket-box', 'upcoming-events']"


phosh honors the following environment variables for debugging purposes:

•
PHOSH_DEBUG: A comma separated list of flags:
  • always-splash: Always use splash screen when starting apps (even when in docked mode)
  • fake-builtin: Fake a builtin screen when using a virtual output like in a nested Wayland session.



  • PHOSH_FAKE_CLOCK: Allowed values are ISO8601 formatted strings or now. Setting this variable sets the shell's clocs to the given fixed value. For the clock format see g_date_time_new_from_iso8601().
  • G_MESSAGES_DEBUG, G_DEBUG and other environment variables supported by glib. <https://docs.gtk.org/glib/running.html>
  • GTK_DEBUG and other environment variables supported by GTK, see
