Hi Mohan, Why bash script? I don't think that GUI settings is something you'd want to automate. And even if it were (or you just prefer console tools over GUI), it's rather inconvenient to setup with a script. E.g. widgets with their order - with a script you won't have any ability to move them around as easily as you could with your mouse. And you won't have any preview of colors and fonts before you apply them.
