NWG-LOOK(1) General Commands Manual NWG-LOOK(1)

NAME

nwg-look - GTK3 settings editor for wlroots environments like Sway.

SYNOPSIS

nwg-look [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes nwg-look, a GTK3 settings editor designed to work properly in wlroots-based Wayland environments, such as Sway. The look and feel is strongly influenced by LXAppearance, but nwg-look is intended to free the user from a few inconveniences: it works natively on Wayland, and it applies gsettings directly, so you don't need to add anything special to your Sway configuration.

OPTIONS

Apply stored gsettings and quit.
Enable debug messages.
Restore to default values and quit.
Display version information.
Export config files and quit.

USAGE

With Sway, you don't need any special stuff in your Sway configuration file. This means you should remove any "gsettings" or "import-gsettings" directives from your Sway configuration.

COMPATIBILITY

Some gsettings keys have no direct counterparts in Gtk.Settings. While exporting the settings.ini file, nwg-look uses the most similar values:
