To install and update this package ( adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme ) from AUR (Arch User Repository) on Arch Linux and Arch-based Linux distros (e.g. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, BlackArch) is fairly uncomplicated. This tutorial will cover how to install/update/uninstall the package with either the built-in package manager pacman or an AUR helper (e.g. yay ).

Table of Contents

Installation link

There are commonly two approaches to install adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme from AUR. pacman is the way to go if you are a seasoned Linux user and understand the concept of how packages are built. Otherwise, yay is an acceptable alternative to install packages without the hassle of reviewing PKGBUILD and build packages with makepkg by yourself.

Install with pacman (Default) link

sudo pacman -S --needed git && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme.git && cd adwaita-x-dark-and-light-theme && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. Install git if required (not installed before).
2. clone the package’s git repository from source.
3. cd into the folder that we just cloned.
4. Build the package with makepkg , then install it with pacman .

Install with yay (Beginner Friendly) link

yay -S adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

Updating link

Just like installing AUR packages, updating them is almost the same. All you have to do is pull it from AUR then re-build it. Nonetheless, it is still recommended to upgrade your whole system first with sudo pacman -Syu before updating any packages to avoid breaking your system, since Arch is a rolling-release Linux distribution.

Update with pacman (Default) link

git pull && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. pull from the package’s git repository.
2. Use makepkg to build the package. Also, it will automatically be updated with pacman if built successfully.

Update with yay (Beginner Friendly) link

Removal link

Compared to installing and updating packages, uninstalling is the easiest of these three,all you need to do is choose whether to keep the dependencies that no longer required by other packages and the configuration files used by the package.

Uninstall with pacman (Default) link

sudo pacman -R adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rs adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rns adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

Uninstall with yay (Beginner Friendly) link

yay -R adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

yay -Rs adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

yay -Rns adwaita-x-dark-and-light-themecontent_copy

Dark mode switching

Switching between light and dark modes/themes is nice to have. It allows you to switch to dark mode on sunset or toggle modes with a keyboard shortcut.

The switch between themes can apply to currently running programs, probably requiring a daemon, or only to newly launched ones. This article focuses on switching at runtime, so toggling during use affects currently running programs.

Switching between light and dark mode requires support from applications or application toolkits like GTK and Qt.

If you don’t need live theme switching, to quickly set a dark theme system-wide Install gnome-themes-extra , adwaita-qt5 and adwaita-qt6 and Export GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark , GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=adwaita-dark .

Tools

• darkman — darkman is a tool that allows automating transitioning to dark mode at sundown, and back to light mode at sunrise. It allows placing drop-in scripts to be run automatically at those times.

• Yin-Yang — Yin-Yang is a similar tool, which can be also run manually (not only on sunset/sunrise). Currently it supports Plasma, GNOME & Budgie DE, as well as few of the most used miscellaneous applications (Firefox, VSCode etc.). Running custom scripts is also supported.

Toolkits

GTK

To change the light/dark mode, you have to change the used theme.

Most themes do have a dark variant and those have by convention the suffix -dark . For example the default GTK theme Adwaita has the variant Adwaita-dark .

To permanently change to the dark variant, see GTK#Dark theme variant

To switch themes instantly for running programs, either a daemon providing the xsettings spec or gsettings is required. For desktops running with Xorg, an xsettings daemon is needed. For desktops running with Wayland, gsettings is queried.

xsettings daemon

xsettings is queried for Xorg sessions

The xsettings daemon from Xfce is xfsettingsd, which is provided by the xfce4-settings package.

To query current GTK theme:

$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName

$ xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "new-theme"

Changes to this entry are instant and affect all GTK applications.

gsettings

gsettings is queried for Wayland sessions.

To query the current GTK theme:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "new-theme"

Alternatively, if your theme does not apply the dark scheme to Gtk4 applications, you can request the dark variant of the default theme:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-light'

Changes to this entry are instant and affect all GTK applications.

Note that not all GTK themes support both light and dark variants. Notably, if you are using KDE, the Breeze GTK theme does not support it. You can switch to Adwaita theme by running the command below.

KDE

If you are using KDE and want to switch dark and light modes on the fly (even at the cost of different themes for Qt and GTK apps), you can switch the GTK theme to one that supports both dark and light variant — like the default Adwaita theme. You can switch to the Adwaita theme by running:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'

and if you want to revert to KDE default theme, run:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Breeze'

Doing this will allow you to switch theme even on already running apps using the color-scheme command above. It will also respect the KDE dark/light setting, that can be switched on in KDE Settings.

Qt

Qt has theme support similar to GTK.

One method to theme Qt applications is using GTK for styling. Changes to the GTK theme then affect Qt applications as well.

Another method is using a native Qt theme, e.g. adwaita-qt5 . To switch between themes, you can follow Qt#Configuration of Qt 5 applications under environments other than KDE Plasma.

Applications

Firefox

Firefox automatically uses the current GTK theme mode and adapts the appearance of the browser accordingly. See Firefox#Dark themes for some more settings and caveats.

To change web content smartly, the Dark Reader Add-On is recommended.

By setting Automation to Use system color scheme , Dark Reader activates automatically with dark GTK themes.

Thunderbird

Thunderbird conforms with the current GTK Theme, but some changes are recommended.

Visual Studio Code

To change the theme in Visual Studio Code, this script may help.

IntelliJ

The Auto Dark Mode plugin will automatically switch themes based on the current GTK theme once installed.

Alacritty

Alacritty has support for multiple custom color schemes. The configuration syntax and published color schemes can be found here.

To quickly change theme, you should declare a pointer to each color scheme, for example &black . Then you can switch to a color scheme by simply setting colors: *black . This change to the configuration file is instant and affects all currently running instances. If not, you may have to set live_config_reload: true .

The borders and title bar are themed with GTK. To abide by the GTK theme, you should set the setting gtk_theme_variant to the default None .

It appears that the other theme Adwaita-dark theme is already included in gnome-themes-extra package. People who just wants to have a gtk2 theme that matches Adwaita:Dark can use that one instead.

Thanks @cyberpunkrocker for letting me discover that.

There’s an updated fork in https://www.pling.com/s/Gnome/p/1247600/ , which is much closer in appearance to current gtk3 Adwaita.

gnome-look download url keeps changing. I’ll just include the tar.gz in the build

Here are some edits I had to make in order to install:

source=( https://dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1462546831/s/86d59382134566ebcdb78d9fc99fee8b/t/1541373921/u//175933-AdwaitaDark.tar.gz ) md5sums=('SKIP') 

The URL may or may not work depending on how dynamic their API callback is.

Malvineous commented on 2018-08-08 11:31 (UTC)

The upstream download link doesn’t seem to be working anymore, resulting in an md5sum validation failure. Downloading the .tar.gz manually works.
