Installation
GTK3 and Gnome-shell
Move theme folders to ~/.themes
GTK4
To install the Gtk4 theme move the contents of gtk4.0 to ~/.config/gtk4.0.
Flatpak
To install themes on Flatpak apps use these commands:
- sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.themes
- sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=MonoTheme
or
- sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=MonoThemeDark
GDM
IMPORTANT! Take a snapshot of the system before use!
If you want the gnome-shell theme to extend to the lock and login screen, move the gnome-shell-theme.gresource file from gnome-shell folder to /usr/share/gnome-shell/ with a replacement and restart system with ALT+F2 and enter r for Xorg or reboot/log out for Wayland session.
Command:
- sudo cp gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell
I recommend saving the gresource file from the folder to a safe place beforehand, if will need to be returned. Go to /usr/share/gnome-shell and open terminal.
Example:
- sudo cp gnome-shell-theme.gresource ~/Documents
Firefox Theme
Firefox Theme link
1. Go to about:support in Firefox.
2. Application Basics > Profile Directory > Open Directory.
3. Create a chrome directory if it doesn't exist or remove/move all files in chrome derectory if they exist.
4. Put mono-firefox-theme, userChrome.css, userContent.css in chrome folder.
Icon Theme
Icon Theme link
This is a mix of Adwaita symbolic icons and new icons that we made together with my friend. Icons match and don't get out from the style of Adwaita icons.
To install icons, place the folder in the ~/.icons directory and select icons in Gnome Tweaks. In order for icons to work everywhere, including for flatpak apps, go to the directory where you saved the folder and move the icons folder to /usr/share/icons.
Command:
- sudo cp -r MonoIcons /usr/share/icons
If you don't want to use the default app icons, move the icons from your favorite icon pack to scalable/apps.
Using
To change the light or dark theme of Gtk3 apps and Gnome-shell use Gnome Tweaks or Night Theme Switcher (choose the theme you want in the Themes tab and change the theme color in the Settings > Appearance).
The dark and light appearance of gtk4 is changed by renaming the desired file to gtk.css in .config/gtk4.0 or you can try the script I made for automatic theme switcher in gtk4 and gtk3/4 flatpak apps. Go to Night Theme Switcher and select Commands tab and paste this script.
Sunrise:
- flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=MonoTheme --user & cd ~/.config/gtk-4.0 ; mv gtk.css gtk2.css ; mv gtk-dark.css gtk.css ; mv gtk2.css gtk-dark.css
Sunset:
- flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=MonoThemeDark --user & cd ~/.config/gtk-4.0 ; mv gtk.css gtk2.css ; mv gtk-dark.css gtk.css ; mv gtk2.css gtk-dark.css
Thanks to this script, you can change the theme of apps by switching dark and light theme in the settings, but gtk4 and gtk4 flatpak apps will be updated only when the app window is reopened. If ALL the steps are completed correctly, then the theme color will change for ALL applications in the system, write your questions in issues.

10 10 the best Great theme :)
10 Great theme
Awesome theme! Could you share your font settings, please?
SF Pro Display Regular 11
9 Covers nearly everything perfectly and has a great aesthetic. Pretty new to Linux atm, so I'm not sure if this is due to user error, but the buttons in the Amberol music player in the top bar menu are all changed to ">". Easy to deal with, and could be because I'm using Gnome Tweaks to change the shell instead of the suggested installation method (I don't want to mess with Linux too much until I fully know what I'm doing).
this is most likely related to the icon pack you're using and not the theme
9 It's the best GTK-Theme, but can you change the icon of the app-grid-button, please. It looks like you have copied it from macOS and additionally it doesn't fit really well with the rest of the theme.
thanks. this is a temporary solution for now, i've not made my own yet
launcher icon changed
