Frequently asked questions
How do I back up nwg-bar?
Copy the nwg-bar config folder with the bar closed. JSON template plus stylesheet travel together. Restoring means putting the folder back before launch.
Is there an etc overlay?
There is none. Alternate files load from the same folder through launch flags. System samples under share seed first-time setups. Keep custom copies in the user dir.
