Fix for libadwaita (not perfect)

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

Connect WhiteSur theme to Flatpak (Snap not support)

Fix for Flatpak gtk-4.0 app:

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0

Change theme color and accent

Parameter: —color -c (repeatable)

./install.sh -c Light # install light theme color only ./install.sh -c Dark -c Light # install dark and light theme colors

Parameter: —theme -t (repeatable)

./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

Change Nautilus style

Parameter: —nautilus-style -N

Example: ./install.sh -N mojave

WhiteSur: macOS Big Sur Like Gtk, Gnome Shell And Icon Themes For Your Linux Desktop

The theme pack comes in both light and dark variants, both having regular (with the sidebar slightly transparent in some applications) and solid versions.

There’s also an optional Plank dock theme for those that want to achieve an even closer look to macOS Big Sur. As a side note, if you use Ubuntu and want to disable Ubuntu Dock so you can use Plank dock instead, see this article.

The theme requires Gtk 3.20 or newer, so it should work with most Linux distributions, e.g. from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.10, etc.

The same designer / developer has also created a WhiteSur icon theme that mimics the macOS Big Sur icon theme for Linux desktops. The icon theme is also available in light and dark variants.

I realize not everyone likes the look of macOS, or to make their Linux desktop look like it, so this theme isn’t for everyone. But you have to admit it’s pretty cool that this is possible. And believe it or not, there are quite a few people that want to mimic the Mac look on Linux, and this article is for them.

If you prefer Adwaita or Yaru themes, but you want to spice them up a bit, see:

Important things you need to know before using WhiteSur Gtk theme:

1. With Nvidia graphics (it definitely happens with proprietary drivers, I’m not sure if it also happens with Nouveau), the Nautilus sidebar doesn’t refresh after hovering over the items, making it look broken:

To work around this issue, the theme developer has created solid theme alternatives (e.g. WhiteSur-light-solid and WhiteSur-dark-solit), which don’t have this issue.

2. Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 users will notice that using this theme, the Ubuntu Software app is completely transparent and not usable. This is because Ubuntu Software is a snap app starting with Ubuntu 20.04, and this causes most third-party themes to not work properly with Ubuntu Software.

Basically, any Gtk theme that is not in the common-themes snap will have this problem; theming support is under development for snaps, and until it’s finished this issue will continue to persist.

A work-around for this exists though. Install Gnome Software:

sudo apt install gnome-software

After this, you’ll see «Ubuntu Software» in the applications menu, which is the Snap Store that has these theming issues, and «Software» which is Gnome Software (which doesn’t have these theming issues).

Download WhiteSur Gtk and Icon themes (and wallpaper)

The WhiteSure Gtk download button from above has the themes already compiled (includes the Gnome Shell and Plank themes). If you’d like to download the latest WhiteSur Gtk source from Git and build it yourself, see the theme GitHub page.

• Gtk: Extract the theme .tar.xz archive and copy the extracted folder in ~/.themes for your current user, or in /usr/share/themes (as root) for all users. If you’ve never installed a Gtk theme before, ~/.themes may not exist so create this folder.
• Icons: Extract the theme .tar.xz archive and copy the extracted folder in ~/.icons for your current user, or in /usr/share/icons (as root) for all users. If you’ve never installed an icon theme before, ~/.icons may not exist so create this folder.
