[Request] Migrate gsettings schema to `org.buddiesofbudgie.magpie` #7

Closed eatyourbaby closed 1 year ago

eatyourbaby commented 1 year ago

Magpie version

0.9.2

Use-cases

Magpie currently shares the same gsettings schema namespace as mutter, i.e. org.gnome.mutter. However, if magpie were to co-exist with mutter in an installation, a newer (or older) version of mutter may no longer share the same keys with mutter 43, which might break magpie.

This also offers a solution to #3, as we can add the xrandr fractional scaling patch to magpie as a whole on any distribution.

Proposal

Migrate gsettings schema away from org.gnome.mutter to org.buddiesofbudgie.magpie.

Thats the sort of change required.

Making a global change like this also will impact other stuff like gnome-remote-desktop that quite a lot of people use.

I haven't look at potentially other GNOME dependencies - need to example gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-session and probably quite a few others as well.

I just learned that Budgie to moving its configuration to TOML. I suppose this won't be an issue when magpie 1.0 releases then.
