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

	-a		Apply stored gsettings and quit.
	-d		Enable debug messages.
	-r		Restore to default values and quit.
	-v		Display version information.
	-x		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:

Settings that no longer work include:

	•		Toolbar style (deprecated since GTK 3.10)
	•		Toolbar icon size (deprecated since GTK 3.10)
	•		Show button images (deprecated since GTK 3.10)
	•		Show menu images (deprecated since GTK 3.10)
	•		Enable event sounds (does not seem to affect non-GNOME environments)
	•		Enable input feedback sounds (does not seem to affect non-GNOME environments)
