Hi guys, I’m running gnome 43.2 and I installed this theme: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1891521
But after I apply it it doesn’t apply to the window manager due to it running on gtk4 and the theme is on gtk3 or smth like that so I copied the content from the gtk 4.0 folder that’s included in the theme and pasted them in ~/.config/gtk 4.0 but it still doesn’t apply to the window manager. Any way to fix this? it really takes away from the consistency of my interface.
Have you had a look at this
I don’t use GNOME so I can’t help much more but it may help

hmmm, no, I’ll give this a go and get back to you.
yeah so I’ve been trying for the last 2 hours to make those damned scripts work but no success. I’ve created the script(s), made them executable, installed the dependencies mentioned in the readme but every time I tried to execute the install script I would get an error that something does not exist. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but those install instructions are so non-beginner friendly that I’ll just call it a day and not use the theme. I’ve never attempted to install something directly from git and in the readme it just says “run ./install.sh”, this is not worth the hassle.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, if you post the exact output of the terminal someone might be able to help you more
it’s ok I appreciate that someone actually responded. I’ll redo the process now and post what I did step by step with the terminal outputs.

i do not know of a way to use themes for GNOME default Interface and libadwaita apps…
OK, so:
- I created the build.sh script and execute it.
After executing the output is this:
[schmitz@schmitz-endeavour ~]$ ./build.sh
sassc needs to be installed to generate the css.

I’ve created the gtkrc.sh script and made it executable.
-
I’ve installed gtk-engine-murrine because it’s part of the requirements, I already have gnome-themes, and sassc was installed after running the build.sh script.
-
created install.sh script
-
executed install.sh script, output is:
./install.sh -c dark
GNOME Shell 43.2
cp: cannot stat '/home/schmitz/src/sass/_tweaks.scss': No such file or directory
and that’s where I get stuck
i do not really understand what you try to do… there is a tutorial:
simply git clone the repo and run the install.sh—
after this you can use the theme for legacy applications… but as i mentioned … GNOME changed to use libadwaita for the ui and default applications… not the traditional way anymore.
to hack GNOME to use this theme all over you need to do this:
git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/Jasper-gtk-theme.git
cd Jasper-gtk-theme
./install.sh
cp -R ~/.themes/Jasper-Purple-Dark/gtk-4.0 ~/.config/log out and back in … and it will work…
I’ve got it working finally! I realized I was doing it very wrong, and it was so easy in actuality. Thank you so much!!
i learned something too… i was not aware you even can do this for the libadwaita apps…
