GNOME Settings
This folder contains my GNOME settings
split into several *.ini files by logical group.
Machine-specific overrides may live in local/*.ini and are loaded last.
All paths inside the files are absolute,
anchored at the root of dconf.
Therefore, they must always be loaded anchored at the root as well:
dconf load / < <file>
restore-gnome automates this upon every login
(via the restore-gnome.service systemd user unit).
Process:
- Back up the current
dconfstate into ~/.local/state/gnome-settings-backups/ - Reset all managed sub-trees,
so that keys removed from the
*.inifiles do not linger in the live state, and - Load every
*.inihere, then everylocal/*.ini.
verify-dconf lists keys diverging
between the live state and the *.ini files,
and can be used to find live keys worth adopting.
Color Palette
A teal ramp from light to dark, plus two neutral tones for the shell chrome.
Translucent colors are always alpha-variants of a stop,
used for forge's tile previews and tab decorations.
