Detect Desktop Environment

GitHub crates.io CI status docs.rs/detect-desktop-environment license MIT

This crate helps you to detect the current desktop environment. It was inspired by the detectDE function from xdg-util.

Installation

Run the following command in your project:

cargo add detect-desktop-environment

Usage

use detect_desktop_environment::DesktopEnvironment;

fn main() {
    match DesktopEnvironment::detect() {
        Some(de) => println!("detected desktop environment: {de:?}"),
        None => println!("failed to detect desktop environment"),
    }
}

This library exposes two symbols: the detect function and it returns value: the DesktopValue enum. All the variants are listed below in the "Supported environments" section.
