# gtk-settings
[GTK][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`][gnome].
## 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
