This tool is called Dconf. Dconf is an advanced Gnome configuration tool and desks that use this desk. Dconf is not usually installed in the distribution, so we always have to install it manually for use. Dconf tool works as an Ubuntu registry editor. If you come from Windows, the term will surely sound familiar to you. And, unfortunately, it has the same dangers; This means that the application is simple but an error in it can ruin the entire operating system.

Introduction As other answers on this site discuss gconf and dconf together, I will just concentrate on discussing command-line tools such as gsettings and the gui dconf-editor that are used to access the dconf database. Using gsettings to view and change settings Once one gets to know gsettings it can be as easy as the gui dconf-editor.
To list all the available schemas, enter gsettings list-schemas To also include all the keys, enter gsettings list-recursively However , it is usually easier to specify what you want with, for examples, gsettings list-schemas grep -i shotwell This returns a long list; I have shortened it to: org. Using dconf-editor to change settings The GUI program, dconf-editor is installed with dconf-tools package by clicking here or by running sudo apt-get install dconf-tools Then run it by entering in the terminal or in the quick launch menu, dconf-editor.

Documentation A system administrators guide for dconf is available. The dconf API is very simple and small. It can be roughly divided into 4 categories: utility functions database read functions database write functions watching The read functions allow you to list the contents of the database, to read values, and to query the writability of a particular portion of the database ie: according to system policy.
Due to the database being mapped into each process's address space, these calls are synchronous and non-blocking. The write functions allow you to set keys including atomic multi-key writes , to reset keys and to apply locks ie: policy.
These calls all exist in two flavours: blocking synchronous versions and non-blocking asynchronous versions with an API style similar to that used in GIO. After this operation, 1, kB of additional disk space will be used.
