Where Is the nwg-dock Config File?
nwg-dock Wayland dock stylesheet, pin cache and icon paths.
Last updated
nwg-dock styles through a single CSS file. Pins persist in a dedicated cache file. Workspace icons ship as numbered SVGs under system share.
Everything else arrives as launch args. That split keeps the file story small: style plus pins, nothing more.
Where nwg-dock stores this, by platform
~/.config/nwg-dock/style.css
Single stylesheet with pins in cache beside the tree. Workspace icons as numbered SVGs under system share. Behavior via CLI args with no conf file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up nwg-dock?
Copy the dock config folder plus the pinned cache with the dock stopped. Style travels in config, pins in cache. Restoring means putting both back before launch.
Where is the nwg-dock.conf file?
There is none. Behavior flows from CLI args with style from CSS. The source shows no conf loader. Guides naming a conf file describe something that does not exist.
