# nwg-look
This application is a part of the [nwg-shell](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-shell) project.

Nwg-look is a GTK3 settings editor, designed to work properly in wlroots-based Wayland environment. The look and feel is strongly influenced by [LXAppearance](https://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXAppearance), but nwg-look is intended to free the user from a few inconveniences:

but nwg-look is intended to free the user from a few inconveniences:

- It works natively on Wayland. You no longer need Xwayland, nor strange env variables for it to run.
- It applies gsettings directly, with no need to use [workarounds](https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/GTK-3-settings-on-Wayland). You don't need to set gsettings in the sway config file. You don't need the `import-gsettings` script.

The `-a` flag has been added just in case. When you press the "Apply" button, in addition to applying the changes, a backup file is also created. You may apply gsetting again w/o running the GUI, by just `nwg-look -a`. No idea if it's going to be useful in real life. ;)
