Building and Installing

  1. Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/ArtyIF/AdwCustomizer.git
  2. Open the project with GNOME Builder
  3. Press the Build (hammer in the header bar) button
  4. Press on the status panel and click "Export Bundle" to export the app as a Flatpak bundle
  5. Install the bundle with flatpak install <path to bundle> or through a GUI application of your choice (like GNOME Software and KDE Discover)

WARNING: The project currently uses the master version of org.gnome.Platform and depends on some Adw classes that are not yet available in the latest stable version of org.gnome.Platform (42 at the time of writing). Flathub only ships stable versions of packages, so make sure you have a Flatpak repository that ships the needed dependency versions before installing.

Setup Tutorial

Libadwaita applications

No additional setup is required for native Libadwaita applications.

For Flatpak Libadwaita applications, you need to override their permissions by:

  • Running sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0
  • Using 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 to theme vanilla GTK 4 applications.

GTK 3 applications

  • Install and apply the adw-gtk3 theme (don't forget to install the Flatpak package!)
  • For Flatpak applications, you need to override their permissions by:
    • Running sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0
    • Using Flatseal and adding xdg-config/gtk-3.0 to Other files in the Filesystem section of All Applications
