## Description

Clutter depends on some settings to perform operations like detecting multiple button press events, or font options to render text.

Usually, Clutter will strive to use the platform's settings in order to be as much integrated as possible. It is, however, possible to change these settings on a per-application basis, by using the ClutterSettings singleton object and setting its properties. It is also possible, for toolkit developers, to retrieve the settings from the ClutterSettings properties when implementing new UI elements, for instance the default font name.

ClutterSettings is available since Clutter 1.4

## Details

### ClutterSettings

    typedef struct _ClutterSettings ClutterSettings;

ClutterSettings is an opaque structure whose members cannot be directly accessed.

Since 1.4

### clutter_settings_get_default ()

    ClutterSettings *   clutter_settings_get_default        (void);

Retrieves the singleton instance of ClutterSettings

Returns : | the instance of ClutterSettings. The returned object is owned by Clutter and it should not be unreferenced directly. [transfer none]

Since 1.4

## Property Details

      "backend"                  ClutterBackend*       : Write / Construct Only

A back pointer to the ClutterBackend

Since 1.4

### The `"double-click-distance"` property

      "double-click-distance"    gint                  : Read / Write

The maximum distance, in pixels, between button-press events that determines whether or not to increase the click count by 1.

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 5

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 250

Since 1.4

### The `"font-antialias"` property

      "font-antialias"           gint                  : Read / Write
