<div dir="ltr"><p>Let's say I wanted to create a terminal application that would detect
if it was being run on xfce4-terminal and, if so, change the background
image and shading options according to various internal application
logic on my end. Since I'm writing the source for the terminal
application myself, it would be nice and useful to have an API where I
could adjust the settings from within my application. Failing that,
using some sort of userspace bus (DBUS? Something else?) or interprocess
communication would also be an option.</p><p>Does anyone know if such an API exists? How would I go about implemented the above functionality? Thank you for your time.</p></div>
