Some older jabber servers advertise SSL/TLS support but don't respond to the handshake,
if you have trouble connecting, run with the `--disable-tls` option:
Preferences
-----------
User preferences are stored in
~/.profanity/config
The following example is described below:
[ui]
beep=false
flash=true
showsplash=true
notify=true
[connections]
logins=mylogin@jabber.org;otherlogin@gmail.com
[colours]
bkgnd=default
text=white
online=green
offline=red
err=red
inc=yellow
bar=green
bar_draw=black
bar_text=black
The `[ui]` section contains preferences for user interface behaviour:
beep: Try to sound beep on incoming messages if the terminal supports it
flash: Try to make the terminal flash on incoming messages if the terminal supports it
notify: Send a desktop notification on incoming messages
showsplash: Show the ascii logo on startup
The `[connections]` section contains a history of logins you've used already, so profanity can autocomplete them for you.
This section is populated automatically when you login with a new username.
The `[colours]` sections allows you to theme profanity. Available colours are
black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta
Setting a colour to `default`, lets the terminal use whatever default it would use for foreground/background depending on the setting.
