Where Does nwg-look Store Config?
nwg-look own JSON plus the GTK and gsettings files it writes.
Last updated
nwg-look keeps one JSON of export toggles as its own file. A gsettings backup sits beside it for apply and restore flows. Everything else it touches belongs to GTK.
README states the export-only role plainly. Tools read proves the own files while GTK paths are targets. Keep the JSON as the source of truth.
Where nwg-look stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up nwg-look?
Copy the nwg-look config folder with no settings app running. GTK INIs plus gsettings backups travel as targets, not sources. Restoring means putting the JSON back and reapplying.
Own config or GTK files?
It exports to GTK INIs, xsettingsd and gsettings while keeping only toggles itself. Docs state it does not care about settings files, only exports. Treat targets as outputs.
