How to install

Tarball

Go to the releases section and download the latest tar.xz file.

  • Install for the current user only: Extract the file to ~/.local/share/themes/
  • Install for all users: Extract the file to /usr/share/themes/

You can then enable adw-gtk3 in the application gnome-tweaks.

If you use the dark theme you'll also need to enable the dark appearance in gnome-control-center.

Alternatively you can set the theme in the terminal:

# adw-gtk3 light
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'adw-gtk3' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'
# adw-gtk3 dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'adw-gtk3-dark' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
# Revert to GNOME's default theme
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'
