How to add data to Drupal.settings without drupal_add_js Is there any way to add some variables to Drupal.settings without drupal_add_js (with setting argument). 

I'm creating a site that has a custom ctools popup style but I'm not feeling good with drupal_add_js. How can I add this JavaScript snippet to the page using the theme's .info page ? I'm not sure how can I merge my custom variables (literally, they are just static) to Drupal.settings so ctools module can pick them up as it was added via regular drupal_add_js call. 

Thank you in advance.
Maybe I am missing a point to the question, but you should be able to do

scripts[] = path/to/your/script.js


in the .info file of your theme.  And within the script file something like

(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
    Drupal.settings.yoursetting = {};
    Drupal.settings.yoursetting.property = some_value;
});
})(jQuery);


or use the Drupal.behaviors convention.
