## Building and Installing
1. Open Terminal
2. Run `git clone https://github.com/ArtyIF/AdwCustomizer.git && cd AdwCustomizer`
3. Add the `gnome-nightly` Flatpak repository `flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo`
4. Install the `master` version of GNOME SDK: `flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64/master org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/master`
5. Run `flatpak-builder --install --user --force-clean repo/ com.github.ArtyIF.AdwCustomizer.json`

Alternatively, open the project with GNOME Builder, then build and run it.

## Setup Tutorial

### Libadwaita applications
No additional setup is required for native Libadwaita applications.

For Flatpak Libadwaita applications, you need to override their permissions:
- Run `sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0` or
- Use [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal) and adding `xdg-config/gtk-4.0` to **Other files** in the **Filesystem** section of **All Applications**

### Vanilla GTK 4 applications
Use [this guide](https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3/blob/main/gtk4.md) to theme vanilla GTK 4 applications.

### GTK 3 applications
- Install and apply the [adw-gtk3](https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3#readme) theme (don't forget to install the Flatpak package!)
- For Flatpak applications, you need to override their permissions:
  - Run `sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0` or
  - Use [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal) and adding `xdg-config/gtk-3.0` to **Other files** in the **Filesystem** section of **All Applications**

### Donate
I live in Russia (I don't support the "military operation" currently going on), so if anyone wants to help me, the only way right now is cryptocurrency:
- Bitcoin: `1FrvFbfqWEZepmuH2Bayo8tSvHEr6NnANJ`
- Ethereum/ERC20: `0x37e03C589F28831bD78C4B41Bf866e8ddB2bed3E`

- Solana: `Brs84xPGUjDJhCi7GH4EHRQi4dXvWFC6kYy9jY8oQpar`

Keep in mind these are non-custodial wallets, so try not to send tokens there unless it's USDT (BUSD on BEP2). And if you have to, send me an email to artyomisflash@mail.ru so I created it.

If you're in Russia, then send me an email to artyomisflash@mail.ru, and I'll send you my details (Tinkoff card number or SberBank/SBP/Qiwi/YooMoney/Megafon phone number)
