Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/victor-havin/gsettings-ui.git
  2. Navigate to the directory:

    cd gsettings-ui
  3. Install system dependencies (if needed):

    sudo apt install python3-gi python3-tk

    Note that this program is accessing Gnome system configuration, so it relies on system packages that must be installed with apt as shown above. Make sure you have Python gi and tkinter installed before running this program. Look up gi and tk installation instruction specific to your system if it is not Ubuntu.

Usage

python3 gsettings_ui.py

Tip:

  • If you encounter issues with missing icons, the app will use fallback icons.
  • Requires GNOME and GSettings schemas available on your system.
