Where Does Tilix Store Settings?
Tilix dconf profiles, bookmarks and GTK settings on Linux.
Last updated
Tilix keeps profiles, bookmarks, shortcuts and theme tweaks in dconf rather than flat files, with GTK CSS beside it for styling. Dump the dconf branch for portable backups.
Export dconf before distro hops since profiles never live in dotfiles by default. Themes copy separately from behavior.
Where Tilix stores this, by platform
dconf:/com/gexperts/Tilix
Logical path for profiles, bookmarks and shortcuts; dump with dconf dump /com/gexperts/Tilix/. Custom CSS lives in ~/.config/tilix/gtk.css when present. Load dumps with dconf load on the new machine.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Tilix profiles?
Dump the dconf branch above to text and keep it in dotfiles. Flat-file copies miss everything.
Where is Tilix custom styling?
In gtk.css under ~/.config/tilix beside the dconf settings above. Behavior stays in dconf regardless.
