Where Is the gtklock Config File?
gtklock reads an INI config from the gtklock config folder. Modules and styling options split into sections.
Last updated
gtklock keeps one INI file under the XDG config home. General behavior plus per module settings (power, player info, user list) live there as sections. The README defers details to the man page and wiki, which stay the authority.
Exact keys have grown across releases, so check the installed man page if an option looks off. The folder is small enough to version whole. PAM handles auth separately, outside this file. Background and clock module options extend the same sections per release. Idle inhibitors tie into the compositor session around the lock.
Where gtklock stores this, by platform
/home/<username>/.config/gtklock/config.ini
Main config in INI form. Behavior plus module sections. Exact keys vary by release, so check the man page if unsure.
Frequently asked questions
How do I configure gtklock?
Create config.ini in the gtklock config folder with main and module sections. The man page and wiki document every key.
How do I migrate gtklock?
Copy the gtklock config folder to the new machine. Module choices travel with the main file, but modules must be installed there too.
