Preferences

The Preferences object (accessed through the fx.prefs attribute) provides access to the Silhouette preferences map.

Preferences are accessed using the map key syntax, where pref_id is a string:

# query a preference value
value = fx.prefs[pref_id]
# set a preference value
fx.prefs[pref_id] = value

Scripts can add new preferences to the system and get notified when the preference is changed.

Supported values are Bool, Int, Float, and String.
