Gsettings key to change panel background type

Support & Help Requests

Hi,

I was wondering how to change panel background type, from image to theme and vice versa, from bash script?

E.g. why this command below has no effect?
gsettings set org.mate.panel.toplevels.bottom.background.type 'none'

Cheers

I would suggest to monitor the situation with dconf watch / to get exact key and value.

Run this command in the terminal and then change background type via GUI. The corresponding key-value pair will be shown in the terminal.

On my 16.04 LTS I can set background to none using

dconf write /org/mate/panel/toplevels/bottom/background/type "'none'"

Thank you, using write instead of set did it. And thanks for that dconf tip.
