Title:
Can't switch between Yaru and Adwaita shell themes, even when User
Themes is enabled
Status in yaru-theme package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In an ubuntu session the default shell theme is Yaru. In a vanilla
gnome session the default shell theme is Adwaita. In both cases, there
is no way to pick the other shell theme. Of course, I agree with the
defaults, but arguably one might be interested in using Yaru in a
vanilla gnome session and viceversa. Plus, the ability to change the
gtk theme to Adwaita in an ubuntu session is crippled by the inability
to also change the shell theme in a consistent way (and viceversa).
The problem is that these themes get installed under /usr/share/gnome-
shell/theme and not under /usr/share/themes/<Theme>/gnome-shell as is
usually the case with every other third party theme. But it's simple
to fix this in order to allow for selecting the alternative theme:
symlink from /usr/share/themes/<Theme>. For example:
ln -s /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru /usr/share/themes/Yaru
/gnome-shell
ln -s /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme /usr/share/themes/Adwaita
/gnome-shell
The only downside I see is that you will have Yaru as an alias to
Default under an ubuntu session and Adwaita as an alias to Default
under a vanilla session. That is, two options in the dropdown will
refer to the same underlying theme. But this seems quite innocuous to
me, specially for a user that has already made his/her way into Tweaks
and theme customization. And arguably having an explicitly named
option and a default option may even be desirable.
