Description

Nwg-look is a GTK settings editor, designed to work properly in wlroots-based Wayland environment. The look and feel is strongly influenced by LXAppearance, but nwg-look is intended to free the user from a few inconveniences:

It works natively on Wayland. You no longer need Xwayland, nor strange env variables for it to run.
It applies gsettings directly, with no need to use workarounds. You don't need to set gsettings in the sway config file. You don't need the "import-gsettings" script.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 1.2.1, as upstream numbers it.
