MATE-Terminal - apply dconf changes without restart

Hi,

if I change settings for MATE-Terminal with dconf. e.g.

dconf write /org/mate/terminal/profiles/default/use-theme-colors false

the Terminal have to be restarted to use the new settings.
When changing the settings in the terminals GUI they are applied immediatly to the running terminal.

Is there a way to make Mate-Terminal using new dconf settings made with dconf immediatly?

It seems to me that it depends on the program itself (or maybe the attribute, idk). For example I tested dconf, gsettings and dconf-editor on toggling /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/new-terminal-mode, the change has effect right after it's done.

Ok, seems you are right. I tried gnome-terminal and changes to 'use-theme-colors' are used without restart.
