## OPTIONS

**gdeskcal** accepts the following options:

**--help** Displays help about the command line options and exits.

- **--dontsave**

  Tells 'gDeskCal' not to save any configuration changes on exit.

- **--dpi=\<resolution\>**

  Tells 'gDeskCal' that the screen resolution is \<resolution\> dots per inch. You normally don't have to use this option since 'gDeskCal' can guess the value. This option affects the scaling of fonts.
