# .winset (client command)

### Format
> `.winset "*[control.param=value;...]*"`

Sets skin parameters like the [`winset()` proc](https://ref.dm-lang.org/proc/winset.md). You can set more than one parameter by separating them with semicolons.

This command also allows you to use conditional expressions, like so:

```
condition ? choice1 : choice2
```

The condition is the same as any other parameter you might use in `.winset`, but instead of setting the parameter, it checks to see if it's true. If so, then the parameters in `choice1` will be set. Otherwise, the parameters in `choice2` are set. This example makes the window background red if bigbutton is checked.

```
.winset "bigbutton.is-checked=true ? window.background-color=#ff0000 : window.background-color=none"
```

If you want to look for values that don't match instead of values that do, use `!=` instead of `=` in the condition.

```
.winset "bigbutton.is-checked!=false ? window.background-color=#f00 : window.background-color=none"
```

The `choice2` item is optional.

```
.winset "bigbutton.is-checked=true ? window.background-color=#f00"
```

Because it's often useful to do more than one thing at a time, `choice1` and `choice2` don't have to be just one parameter. You can use multiple parameters, but they are separated with a space instead of a semicolon. (A semicolon indicates the conditional expression is over.)

```
.winset "bigbutton.is-checked=true ? window.text-color=#fff window.background-color=#f00 : window.text-color=none window.background-color=none"
```
