-	1) The setting appliction can be either run as root or as the user, in the first case
+swaylock-effects: https://github.com/mortie/swaylock-effects
-		it will operate on the global settings databse and in the latter on the local
+sgtk-menu: https://github.com/nwg-piotr/sgtk-menu/wiki/Installation	
-		(per user) database
-	2) the global databse and its "setters" operate in the /etc/ and /proc/ subdirectories and files
-		whereas the local database and "setters" operate in the respective user's home directory
-	3) the program then generates plain text files that are symlinked to their respective place
