Install Adwaita shell theme in Ubuntu 18.10












2















I would like to install the default GNOME 3 shell theme (the one used in Fedora for example), but I can't seem to find it anywhere (it's not even on gnome-look).



Can someone tell me how I can achieve this? The only way I can think of is to use the gnome-session package, but that seems quite overkill frankly.



To clarify, I'm looking for the shell theme, not the GTK theme (I have the User Themes extension installed).

          1. Create a folder "myShellTheme" or any name as you wish in /usr/share/themes/


          2. Create subfolder in "myShellTheme" named "gnome-shell"



            enter image description here




          3. Copy the required theme file



            sudo cp /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css /usr/share/themes/myShellTheme/gnome-shell/


            enter image description here




          4. Close all the files, Open Gnome-Tweaks and Select "myShellTheme" under User Themes

            You can load the vanilla GNOME shell theme (Adwaita) from your home directory. To do that follow the steps below.




            1. Create a directory, say MyTheme either in ~/.themes or in ~/.local/share/themes. (You may create ~/.themes or ~/.local/share/themes if they don't exist.)

            2. Create another directory inside MyTheme called gnome-shell.

            3. Create an empty text file in this gnome-shell directory and name it gnome-shell.css.


            4. Open this gnome-shell.css in a text editor and add the following line



              @import url("/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css");


              Then save the file.



            5. Launch (GNOME) Tweaks, go to Appearance section, and click the drop-down box next to "Shell" theme. MyTheme should appear in the drop-down list (assuming you've the 'User Themes' extension installed and enabled). Select it.

              (You may have to re-login or restart GNOME shell to see the effect)
