Evolve - A brand new GNOME Theme Manager

3 years ago by Keith to c/linux

Release - 1.0 Themes As you would expect, it has all the obvious theming features of Gnome Tweaks minus the fonts part. You can change the GTK Theme, change icons and more. What Tweaks does not support as of now is GTK 4 theming and this is where Evolve starts to make a difference. Evolve provides you not only with complete GTK 4 support but also Global Themes which take care of everything starting from applying gtk-3.0 theme, gnome-shell theme and even gtk-4.0 theme. Applying a Global Theme app

Hasn't been released fully yet by the developer but looks interesting.

Edit: Video says repo is on its way

Using a YouTube link intentionally— better people redirect to their own choice piped or invidious instance that they're logged into (various redirect tools available)

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include "everything ad-free". And there's no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

He's Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.

Assuming it’s gpl or something, you only need to provide the source with binary distributions of the product. Anyone in the patreon would have access to the source (I’m assuming)

It’s available for download. And if you want it ad free, you pay for it.

Weird, the video announcement states the software is FOSS. I think that's regarding his YouTube content and not this stuff. The video also states github is wip

Can confirm GNOME tweaks does not do that. A note stable solution right now (only color theming though) is Gradience.

Glad this exists, but I am worried with the way GNOME is going that this might not be worth it in the long run.

Gnome seems to be getting better with each update, I'm not really sure what you mean? It's stable, looks amazing/consistent, has a very healthy app ecosystem, etc.

I don't use gnome; can someone who does plz tell me what style that is? The color scheme is Everforest, but what's the rest of the style called? It'd look good on rofi & polybar.

Edit: I guess the theme is also Everforest Dark? I think it's this one.

Edit 2: Someone has already done most of the work for polybar, rofi, and some other tiling WM tools; dotfiles here. I haven't tested it myself yet, but it looks pretty good.

YouTube links are fine - I hate those stupid bots that spam posts about such links.

Did you read your own letter? It's not relevant here.

If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us. However, if you change things like stylesheets and icons, you should be aware that you’re in unsupported territory. Any issues you encounter should be reported to the theme developer, not the app developer.

I don't know whether you're shitting on theme developers or GTK app developers with your comment, but they explicitly state that they think theming is fine, they're just tired of people reporting theme problems as app problems. It's a completely reasonable take.

If I were an app developer I wouldn't want to open a bug report, then spend hours and hours investigating a reported issue, only to find out that my app was never the problem in the first place.

It's more targeted towards the DE developers.

Some use gnome but with their own theme and it can make normal apps look broken.

You can see this if you use an Elementary OS application while still using the default gnome theme as an example.

Or if you use Pop! Shell, and try to use a normal libadwaita app. (Although Pop Shell has gotten better about how they implement their theme)

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
