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**

## 🏗️ Building from source
|
||
|
||
### Nightly Remote
|
||
|
||
First of all, you need to have [GNOME Nightly](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nightly) Flatpak remote added if it's not already:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, add the Gradience Flatpak remote:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gradience-nightly https://gradienceteam.github.io/Gradience/index.flatpakrepo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, install Gradience by running:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
flatpak install gradience-nightly com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience.Devel
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### GNOME Builder
|
||
|
||
GNOME Builder is the environment used for developing this application.
|
||
It can use Flatpak manifests to create a consistent building and running
|
||
environment cross-distro. Thus, it is highly recommended you use it.
|
||
|
||
1. Download [GNOME Builder](https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Builder).
|
||
2. In Builder, click the "Clone Repository" button at the bottom, using `https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git` as the URL.
|
||
3. Click the build button at the top once the project is loaded.

## 🏷️ About the Name
|
||
|
||
Gradience was originally named Adwaita Manager.
|
||
|
||
You can see the meaning of Gradience on [Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gradience).
|
||
|
||
The icon represents: _A Paint Roller repainting an Adwaita window, keeping its functionality._
|
||
|
||
## 🖌️ About the "Pretty Purple"
|
||
|
||
The Pretty Purple theme comes from the very beginning, directly from the original author of Gradience, [Artyom Fomin](https://github.com/ArtyIF).
|
||
|
||
It was called "Purple Guy", presumably as a reference to the FNaF, later it was renamed to Pretty Purple.
|
||
|
||
Pretty Purple preset was originally shared in the https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience/discussions/23.
|
||
|
||
Pretty Purple is built-in in the Gradience and used in all Gradience artworks.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 🌱️ Gradience, [stopthemingmy.app](https://stopthemingmy.app) and Adwaita Developers
|
||
|
||
> See [gradienceteam.github.io/hack](https://gradienceteam.github.io/hack)
|
||
|
||
Gradience Team is not against the ideas of [stopthemingmy.app](https://stopthemingmy.app) and the developers of Adwaita. Gradience is a tool for tinkerers who want to theme their desktop to their liking, and **not a tool for distributions** to ship in their releases. Gradience Team agrees with importance of unified look of Adwaita to make sure that all apps function correctly and that developers have a unified and stable tool for creating their apps.
