This guide shows how to setup the vimix gnome theme in Fedora. I use this theme on all my Linux desktop environments and I’m really satisfied with it.
# Install
# Dependencies
sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines gnome-tweaks
# Theme
The following will setup the theme in ~/.themes
.
# Clone the repository in /tmp folder so we do not have
# to remove it manually afterards.
cd /tmp
git clone git@github.com:vinceliuice/vimix-gtk-themes.git
cd vimix-gtk-themes
./install.sh
# See if the files are there
ls -hal ~/.themes
Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ and enable the plugin.
Now you can change the theme using the gnome-tweaks
tool.
# Icons
The following will setup the icons in .local/share/icons
.
# Clone the repository in /tmp folder so we do not have
# to remove it manually afterwards.
cd /tmp
git clone git@github.com:vinceliuice/vimix-icon-theme.git
cd vimix-icon-theme
./install.sh
# See if the files are there
ls -hal ~/.local/share/icons
You can change the theme through the gnome-tweaks
tool.
# Troubleshooting 💣
# Design is not applied to all windows …
The windows where the theme is not applied are probably flatpak or snap apps. These applications will not use the theme of gnome 🤷
