badwolf is a minimalist browser that cares about
privacy, it is based on WebKitGTK and thus also accepts WebKitGTK (and
dependencies) flags and environment variables, unfortunately there doesn't
seems to be manpages for theses.
Runtime configuration specific to badwolf
will probably get added at a later release.

described by the widget the focus is on or ⟨any⟩ if it works for

BADWOLF_L10N- A colon-separated list in the form lang_COUNTRY where lang is in ISO-639
and COUNTRY in ISO-3166. For example
BADWOLF_L10N="en_GB:fr_FR:de_DE". When
this variable isn't set, spelling isn't activated. A more generic variable
name is also intended to be used in the future.
- ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/bookmarks.xbel
- XBEL (XML Bookmark Exchange Language) file, known to be currently
supported by: elinks(1), konqueror(1),
kbookmarkeditor(1). Doing a symbolic link from their
path works fine but you might also want to use XInclude to merge multiple
XBEL files.
For more information about this format see:
http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/
- ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/webkit-web-extensions/
- Directory containing the
WebKitWebExtensions
to be loaded into
badwolf. Note: They aren't the
JavaScript-based Web-Extensions supported by Firefox or Chrome, but native
code in shared objects using the WebKitGTK API.
Examples of useful extensions may be found at:

- ${DATADIR:-/usr/local/share}/badwolf/interface.css
-
- ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/badwolf/interface.css
- CSS files (respectively system and user-level) for styling badwolf
interface. See
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/chap-css-properties.html
for the properties being available.
For testing your styles I would recommend using the
GTK_DEBUG=interactive environment variable on
launching badwolf and going to the CSS tab.
