User settings

You can set a number of settings through toml files in Blackwall protocol. Like disabling emojis.

Location of the toml file

In the .config folder in your user folder you will have to create a folder called “blackwall”, if the .config folder does not already exist create it. In your newly created folder put the user_config.toml file.

Example path:

/u/sperva/.config/blackwall/user_config.toml
