# DConf Settings

Applies repository-housed `dconf` settings.

## Overview

it makes a handful of `dconf` settings optimizations.

### Update background to be OS-specific
if [ -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/dconf/settings/org.gnome.desktop.background" ]; then
    logg info 'Checking for presence of /usr/local/share/wallpapers/Betelgeuse-{{ title .host.distro.id }}/contents/source.jpg'

### Backup system settings
DCONF_TMP="$(mktemp)"
dconf dump / > "$DCONF_TMP"

### Reset system settings / load saved configurations from ~/.config/dconf/settings
if [ -d "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf/settings" ]; then
    find "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dconf/settings" -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f | while read DCONF_CONFIG_FILE; do

        fi
        # Reset dconf settings if environment variable RESET_DCONF is set to true
        if [ "$RESET_DCONF" == 'true' ]; then
            logg info 'Resetting dconf settings for '"$DCONF_SETTINGS_ID"''

        fi
        logg info 'Loading versioned dconf settings for '"$DCONF_SETTINGS_ID"''
        dconf load "$DCONF_SETTINGS_ID" < "$DCONF_CONFIG_FILE"
