Public bug reported:
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.
