Kanagawa GTK Theme
A GTK theme based on the colours of Rebelot's great theme: Kanagawa for Neovim, the VinceLiuice's awesome: Graphite GTK theme and the creativity of Gusbemacbe's: Suru Plus Icon Theme.
Great to combine in your Gnome Desktop Environment and TWMs like: XmonadWM, AwesomeWM, BSPWM, etc... With support also for the desktop environments Cinnamon and XFCE.
You can check Reddit: r/unixporn to get some ideas.
Installing Themes
Before installing, make sure to install the Murrine Engine
and gnome-themes-extra
packages for the correct rendering of themes.
Here are some commands to install on some distributions.
- On Fedora run:
sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine
- On OpenSUSE run:
sudo zypper install gtk2-engine-murrine
- On Arch run:
sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine
- On Debian and derivatives run:
sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine
The themes work on versions 40 to 43 of the GNOME D.E. just follow the steps below for installation:
- Download the themes packs and extract them
- Move the extracted files to the following paths:
- For GTK3:
~/.themes
In this path you must move the entire theme folder. - For GTK4:
~/.config/gtk-4.0
The files to move to this path can be found inside the theme directory in thegtk-4.0
folder, copy only theassets
,gtk.css
andgtk-dark.css
files or create a symlinks.
- For GTK3:
Applying the themes
- For GTK3, apply themes from
Gnome Tweaks
. - For GTK4 applications it is only necessary to have moved the
assets
,gtk.css
andgtk-dark.css
files to the~/.config/gtk-4.0
path, and if you notice that the theme has not been applied, just close and reopen the application.
