I want to change the default settings for Ubuntu. Such as the settings in Gnome Tweaks. And settings in Gnome Settings. And I want it to be there even if I compile the OS with Ubuntu Imager.

create a text file named 20_my-settings.gschema.override with below content..
# My Default Settings #
[org.gnome.desktop.interface]
gtk-theme = 'Nordic-darker-standard-buttons'
[org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme]
name = 'Nordic-darker-standard-buttons'
[org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock]
dock-position = 'BOTTOM'
dash-max-icon-size = 64
Change the values as per your wish..
save the file & close..
Note: Since shell-theme is involved.. you need to install the extension user-theme and enable it..also make sure its gschemas are compiled..
copy the above file to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo cp 20_my-settings.gschema.override /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
and compile the schemas
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
This will not change the settings if you already made different choices..
you need to reset the keys for above four choices..
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme name
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock dock-position
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock dash-max-icon-size
When ever you want to revert back above changes.. remove the file and compile..
sudo rm /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/20_my-settings.gschema.override
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
