An unofficial GTK3 port of libadwaita.
This port does not claim to be a 100% look-a-like of libadwaita. There are some limitations to what GTK3 can do.

-
Go to the releases section and download the latest
tar.xz
file. -
Extract the file to
~/.local/share/themes/
(or/usr/share/themes
if you want to install it for all users.) -
If you use flatpak applications it's recommended to install the flatpak themes. From a terminal run:
flatpak install org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark
You can then enable adw-gtk3 in the application gnome-tweaks
. (Some applications may require a relog.)
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 with your terminal:
# Change the theme to adw-gtk3 light
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'adw-gtk3' && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'
# Change the theme to 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'

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the instructions.
Adw-gtk3 and libadwaita can be customized with GTK named colors. See adw-colors for more info. You can also use the application Gradience to easily change colors.
