How do you customize your GNOME desktop?

For me it involves installing the following packages:

yay -S matcha-gtk-theme-git
yay -S xcursor-breeze
yay -S yaru-sound-theme-git # mainly cause I like the notification sounds for confirming that i've connected/disconnected the charger
pacman -S papirus-icon-theme

…the following extensions:

Dash to dock
Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support # so steam will appear in the toolbar
Timezones extension # i interact with people from around the world so nice to know times in multiple timzeones at a glance
User themes

and finally installing gnome terminal themes from: https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh and tilda themes from https://github.com/Gwyki/base16-tilda

How do you style your GNOME desktop to your tastes?

On the left, dash-to-dock. In the top, gnome-shell-extension-weather, pamac indicator and gnome-shell-extension-appindicator to get tray icons.

I use two extensions:

  • Dash to Panel (Git package from the AUR)
  • Top Icons Plus (Git package from the AUR)

I use Materia-GTK dark variant and also Materia kvantum theme for Qt apps like VLC so that is matches.
