### 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 `WhiteSur` into `gtk-4.0 configuration folder` ($HOME/.config/gtk-4.0)
```bash
./install.sh -l # Default is the normal dark theme
./install.sh -l -c Light # install light theme for libadwaita
```
### Connect WhiteSur theme to Flatpak (Snap not support)
Parameter: `--flatpak` `-F`
Example: `./tweaks.sh -F`
Fix for Flatpak gtk-4.0 app:
```bash
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0
```
### Change theme color and accent
#### Install theme color
Parameter: `--color` `-c` (repeatable)
Example:
```bash
./install.sh -c Light # install light theme color only
./install.sh -c Dark -c Light # install dark and light theme colors
```
#### Install theme accent
Parameter: `--theme` `-t` (repeatable)
Example:
```bash
./install.sh -t red # install red theme accent only
./install.sh -t red -t green # install red and green theme accents
./install.sh -t all # install all available theme accents
```
### Change Nautilus style
Parameter: `--nautilus-style` `-N`
Example: `./install.sh -N mojave`
### Explore more customization features!
You can run `./install.sh -h` to explore more customization features we have
like changing panel opacity, theme opacity (normal and solid variant), window
control button variant, etc.
