gtk-settings

GTK is the widget toolkit used by Firefox, Electron, and many (if not all) GNOME applications.

GTK's settings.ini only affects window managers and not the GNOME desktop environment. This is because GNOME manages user preferences with dconf through gsettings.

Use Cases

gtk-settings can be used to:

Control the appearance of GTK applications under non-GNOME environments

You do not need to use gtk-settings if:

You are using the GNOME desktop environment
