i3 Windows Manager - dconf, gsettings

when I set up some settings with dconf, changes won't apply to my i3-wm sessions (xinitrc "exec i3") with sway wm those settings work.

example:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'theme-name'

in sway the theme gets loaded in i3-gaps it won't.

With i3 you will need to utilize lxappearance https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … ppearance/. Maybe there is another way, but this is how I have always switched GTK themes.

Re: i3 Windows Manager - dconf, gsettings

But what about other settings like

exec gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.privacy remember-app-usage 'false'
exec gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.privacy remember-recent-files 'false'

?

I thin I need to run some sort of dconf daemon,but haven't had success yet.

Set up a proper session, if that's all that's in your .xinitrc you are not setting up a proper session - note the second blue box
