Fix for libadwaita (not perfect)
<details> <summary> Details <b>(click to open)</b> </summary>Since the release of Gnome 43.0
, more and more built-in apps use libadwaita
now, and libadwaita does not support custom themes, which means we cannot change the appearance of app using libadwaita through gnome-tweaks
or dconf-editor
. For users who love custom themes, it’s really sucks!
Anyway if anybody who still want to custom themes we can only do this way:
that is to use the theme file
to overwrite the gtk-4.0 configuration file
. The result is that only Fixed making all gtk4 apps use one theme and cannot be switched (even can not switch to dark mode) If you want to change a theme, you can only re-overwrite the gtk-4.0 configuration file
with a new theme, I know this method is not perfect, But at the moment it is only possible to continue using themes for libadwaita's apps ...
Run this command to install WhiteSur
into gtk-4.0 configuration folder
($HOME/.config/gtk-4.0)
./install.sh -l # Default is the normal dark theme
./install.sh -l -c light # install light theme for libadwaita
<p align="center"> <b> Change theme color and accent </b> </p>
<p align="center"> <img src="https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme/blob/pictures/pictures/colors-themes.png"/> </p>- Install theme accent
Parameter: --theme
-t
(repeatable)
Example:
./install.sh -t red # install red theme accent only
./install.sh -t red -t green # install red and green theme accents
./install.sh -t all # install all available theme accents
<p align="center"> <b> Change Nautilus style </b> </p>
<p align="center"> <img src="https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme/blob/pictures/pictures/nautilus.png"/> </p>Parameter: --nautilus
-N
Example: ./install.sh -N mojave
