Yaru is the default theme for Ubuntu, backed by the community.
It contains:
- a GNOME Shell theme based on the upstream GNOME shell theme
- a light and dark GTK theme (gtk2 and gtk3) based on the upstream Adwaita Gtk theme
- an icon & cursor theme, derived from the Unity8 Suru icons and Suru icon theme
- a sound theme, combining sounds from the WoodenBeaver and Touch-Remix sound themes.
The Yaru theme suite is installed with Ubuntu 18.10+ by default! No further steps are required to use it.
Installing from source is not recommended for average usage!
Note that for backward compatibility, we kept the name "communitheme" for bionic beaver. Only icon and sound updates will be pushed into this version of the theme suite.
These steps only work on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic beaver)! DO NOT install the snap on 18.10+ installations!
Follow these steps in order to install and enable communitheme.
- Install the communitheme snap on 18.04 by installing
communitheme
in the Ubuntu Software Application or runningsnap install communitheme
. - Restart your computer.
- Click on your user, click on the gear icon and select the "Ubuntu with communitheme snap" session from the pop-up, and login.
- Now Ubuntu is using the communitheme including the system, applications, icons, sounds and the cursor.
