as the default configuration without you having to change the system-wide
configuration.

You can store default values for any option in an INI-file in
`~/.config/autorandr/settings.ini` in a section `config`. The most useful
candidate for doing that is `skip-options`, if you need it.
You can store default values for any option in an INI-file located at
`~/.config/autorandr/settings.ini`. In a `config` section, you may place any
default values in the form `option-name=option-argument`.

A common and effective use of this is to specify default `skip-options`, for
instance skipping the `gamma` setting if using
[`redshift`](https://github.com/jonls/redshift) as a daemon. To implement
the equivalent of `--skip-options gamma`, your `settings.ini` file should look
like this:

```
[config]
skip-options=gamma
```
