nwg-look is a GTK3 settings editor designed for wlroots-based Wayland environments like sway. It applies gsettings directly without Xwayland or workaround scripts, inspired by LXAppearance.
Use cases
- change GTK3 theme on sway without Xwayland
- set icon theme and cursor theme on Wayland
- apply gsettings without import-gsettings script
- configure GTK fonts on wlroots compositors
- export GTK settings to settings.ini
- restore default GTK appearance settings
When to choose
- you use sway or another wlroots-based Wayland compositor
- you want an LXAppearance-like tool that works natively on Wayland
- you want to avoid gsettings workarounds in your sway config
When to avoid
- you are on X11 and LXAppearance already works for you
- you use a full desktop environment like GNOME or KDE with its own settings tools
- you need GTK4-only settings management
