Much like the Adapta, Evopop is also inspired by the Material design that looks very snappy and modern. However, the theme is no longer under development as Solus has moved towards Adapta. But it’s still worth taking a look today.

For enjoying the awesome Evopop theme, you have to be using GNOME desktop environment. If your desktop environment is compatible with GTK version 3.20 or higher, this theme should also work just fine.

Installing the theme

There are 2 possible ways that you can enjoy the theme. First is to install it directly using the built-in script and second is to build the theme from source. At first, install it from the default script.

Installing with script

Run this command for downloading the complete Evopop theme with the source.

git clone https://github.com/solus-project/evopop-gtk-theme.git
cd evopop-gtk-theme

Now, run these commands for installing Evopop system-wide.

sudo ./install-gtk-theme.sh

If you’re a user of Geary email client, don’t forget to activate Evopop for that, too.

./install-geary-fix.sh

If you’re willing for enjoying Evopop Azure, run this command as well.

./install-gtk-azure-theme.sh

Now, all you have to do is activate the theme from your system’s theme option.

Building from source

It’s an easier method of enjoying the theme irrespective to almost any Linux distros. Run the command(s) according to your distro for the prerequisite tools.

• Ubuntu

sudo apt install git autotools

• Debian

sudo apt-get install git autotools

• Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S git autotools

• OpenSUSE

sudo zypper install git autotools

• Fedora

sudo dnf install git autotools

Download the source code of the theme.

git clone https://github.com/solus-project/evopop-gtk-theme.git
cd evopop-gtk-theme

Prepare the critical files of the theme. Don’t MISS this step!

./autogen.sh

When everything is complete, start building Evopop theme’s code.

sudo make

Once the building is complete, install the theme in your system.

sudo make install

There are also other great themes to try out – Arc, Paper, Vimix etc.

Let’s install Paper on our favorite Linux distro. You may also be interested in Vimix – another awesome GTK theme.

Prerequisites

In this tutorial, the theme will be built from the source. This way, you can get the latest version of the theme without any trouble. Before installing the theme, you have to prepare your system so that it can properly support the theme.

Run the following command(s) according to your Linux distro.

• Ubuntu

sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf git autoconf

• Debian

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf git autoconf

• OpenSUSE

sudo zypper install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines git autoconf

• Fedora

sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines git autoconf

• Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine gtk-engines git autoconf

If your system wasn’t listed here, you should search and install these items for proceeding further – “Git”, “GTK murrine engine”, “GTK engines” and “Autoconf”.

Building the theme from source

After all the dependencies are installed successfully, it’s time to download and build the theme from scratch.

Get the latest code of the theme from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/snwh/paper-gtk-theme.git

Change the working directory:

cd paper-gtk-theme

Now, the building process begins. Run the “autogen.sh” script. It’ll check your system and generate all the necessary files for the final building process.

./autogen.sh

There’s another script called “configure”. It’s generated by “autogen.sh”. Run this script for finishing what “autogen.sh” started.

./configure

After everything is alright, it’s time to build. Run this command for starting the compilation process:

make

“make” will configure and complete the building process. Now, run this command for installing the theme. It’ll be installed system-wide.

sudo make install

Icon pack

If you want, you can enjoy the awesome icon pack of Paper theme. The process is also the same for building and installing the icon pack. Run these commands for installing the icon pack.

git clone https://github.com/snwh/paper-icon-theme.git
cd paper-icon-theme

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

sudo make install

Enjoy the great, refreshing Paper theme!

Let’s get started in installing Vimix in our systems.

Dependencies

Before we proceed with the installation of the theme, we need to install a few dependencies beforehand so that nothing goes wrong. Run the command(s) in the terminal of your Linux distro accordingly.

• Ubuntu

sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf git

• Debian

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf git

• OpenSUSE

sudo zypper install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines git

• Fedora

sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine gtk2-engines git

• Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine gtk-engines git

If your Linux distro wasn’t on the list, make sure that you install “gtk2-engines-murrine”, “gtk-engines” or “gtk2-engines” and “git” for your distro.

Installing Vimix

Now, it’s time to transform your Linux distro into the best materialistic. Thankfully, Vimix comes up with automated installation system. All you need is let the software do its work.

Run these commands in the terminal –

git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/vimix-gtk-themes.git
cd vimix-gtk-themes

sudo ./Install

Uninstalling the theme

It’s good to know how to uninstall the theme in case you change your heart. The uninstallation process is a bit messy because devs didn’t include any uninstallation script. Run these commands in the terminal –

sudo su
cd /usr/share/themes/
rm -rf Vimix-Dark*

rm -rf Vimix-*

Voila! Enjoy the most awesome theme on Linux!
