Add Matcha-Sea Gnome Theme

English Applications
1

I’m one of those garden variety Gnome desktop home users that loves to continuously try to polish up my desktop.

Recently I learned something that simplifies things a bit, so I thought I’d pass it on. You may already know it, but I didn’t.

I like to add Matcha-Sea theme to my Gnome theme choices. Not that hard but it’s multiple steps. So, rather than adding dependencies and installing the theme in multiple steps, I now know I can do it in just one step. Enter flatpak. I already have flatpak and the flathub repo installed from my initial system setup, so this should be simple enough.

In the terminal I enter,

flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Matcha-sea

Shazaam! It’s added to my Appearance choices when I open Tweaks. Yast doesn’t acknowledge it, but as far as I can tell, my other apps do.

I never would have thought that themes were something I could get from flatpak. Cool.

Hi
The install script works…?


git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/Matcha-gtk-theme.git

cd Matcha-gtk-theme

./install.sh 
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-aliz'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-azul'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-sea'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-light-aliz'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-light-azul'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-light-sea'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-dark-aliz'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-dark-azul'...
Installing '/home/username/.themes/Matcha-dark-sea'...
Finished!...

That’s assuming you added the user themes shell extension…

Works for me. But added steps vs one step.

Sure would be nice if it was in the repo.

A similar theme, Greybird-geeko, is now in the repo. But it gets letters and background blurred too much to be useful.
