Frequently asked questions
How do I back up nwg-panel?
Copy the panel config folder with the panel stopped. Main JSON plus style travel together. Restoring means putting the folder back before launch. Preset variants ride along.
What does first run create?
First run creates the folder from samples with a plain config filename and no extension. A graphical configurator edits the same files. Light and dark icon sets branch beneath.
