1. Change primary theme color

If you want to change primary theme color! (Default color is default MacOS blue) then you can run: for example

./install.sh -t green  # Install green accent color version

2. Install GDM theme

If you want to install GDM theme! then you can run: for example

sudo ./install.sh -g      # install default dark version

sudo ./install.sh -g -c light     # install light version

sudo ./install.sh -g -r     # remove installed GDM theme

3. Change nautilus sidebar width size

If you want to change nautilus sidebar width size! (Default size is 200px) (Nautilus cannot change the structure of the sidebar, so I added a picture as a background to achieve the effect of bigsur) then you can run: 'for example'

./install.sh -s 260    # Install 260px width version

4. Change gnome-shell activities icon

If you want to change gnome-shell activities icon! (Default icon is Apple) then you can run: for example

./install.sh -i manjaro   # Install Manjaro icon

Fix For Flatpak apps

Just run this:

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=~/.themes

On Snapcraft

You can install the theme from the Snap Store, or by running:

sudo snap install whitesur-gtk-theme

To connect the theme to an app, run:

sudo snap connect [other snap]:gtk-3-themes whitesur-gtk-theme:gtk-3-themes

sudo snap connect [other snap]:icon-themes whitesur-gtk-theme:icon-themes

To connect the theme to all apps which have available plugs to gtk-common-themes, you can run:

for i in $(snap connections | grep gtk-common-themes:gtk-3-themes | awk '{print $2}'); do sudo snap connect $i whitesur-gtk-theme:gtk-3-themes; done
