Fix for libadwaita (not perfect)

Details (click to open)

Since the release of Gnome 43.0, more and more built-in apps use libadwaita now, and libadwaita does not support custom themes, which means we cannot change the appearance of app using libadwaita through gnome-tweaks or dconf-editor. For users who love custom themes, it’s really sucks!

Anyway if anybody who still want to custom themes we can only do this way:

That is to use the theme file to overwrite the gtk-4.0 configuration file. The result is that only Fixed making all gtk4 apps use one theme and cannot be switched (even can not switch to dark mode) If you want to change a theme, you can only re-overwrite the gtk-4.0 configuration file with a new theme, I know this method is not perfect, But at the moment it is only possible to continue using themes for libadwaita's apps ...

Run this command to install Tahoe into gtk-4.0 configuration folder ($HOME/.config/gtk-4.0)

bash
1./install.sh -l -la        # install light theme for libadwaita
2./install.sh -d -la        # install dark theme for libadwaita

✅ Done!

Reboot or log out and back in — your GNOME should now resemble macOS Tahoe!
