What is a GTK theme?

GTK is a set of graphical interface libraries. GTK is the base on which the Ubuntu and Linux Mint desktop environments, i.e. GNOME and Cinnamon, are designed. Therefore, a GTK theme modifies the appearance and colors that bring this by default. This means that the themes that I will show you today also serve in other Linux distributions that use these environments.

So, let us start.

3 beautiful GTK themes for your Ubuntu or Linux Mint system

Arc GTK Theme

Let us start with this mega popular and recognized GTK theme for Linux. Arc is a flat theme with transparent elements for GTK 3, GTK 2 and GNOME Shell which supports GTK 3 and GTK 2. This means that Arc can even be used in other desktop environments like MATE or XFCE.

It has many forms of installation from manual compilation to packages for Linux distributions, so its installation is not difficult at all. One of the most used in all of Linux. It has three variants to choose from.

Arc is available in the official Ubuntu and Linux Mint repositories, so just type this command to install it:

:~$ sudo apt install arc-theme

Qogir GTK theme

This theme is inspired by Arc but adds a little more uniformity to the title bar of the windows. It also shares its transparencies and portability.

When installing manually, it is possible to access several options to specify how to install it. For example, it has three variants for you to choose from.

If you want to install it the instructions are in the GitHub page of the project. Needless to say, it is also compatible with other systems as long as they meet the requirements.

Matcha GTK theme

Finally, we bring you the Matcha GTK theme. Personally, I didn’t know him but I hardly saw him, I felt attracted. Using transparency and a lot of variants, we can have a “fresh” and quite a modern system.

As always, its installation is too easy in Ubuntu and Linux Mint, and in other systems, you have to do it manually that is not complex either.

To install it, you only have to run these three commands:

:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ryu0/aesthetics
:~$ sudo apt-get update
:~$ sudo apt install matcha-theme

Conclusion

With these 3 GTK themes, you can improve a lot the graphical aspect of Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Its installation is quite simple and in combination with yesterday’s post, you are ready to make your system more yours.

At the moment there is a great love for dark themes, and an example of this is the implementation of Apple with Mac OS Mojave. In addition to being pleasing to the eye, they improve the productivity and health of our eyes. So, they are a success in this modern world.

In Linux, we have many dark and well-implemented themes like Nordic Theme.

Nordic Theme for Linux

Nordic is a Gtk3.20+ theme created using the awesome Nord color palette. This ensures that your components are subtly careful with design and color matching. Making the subject very delicate for our eyes, thus improving our computer performance.

A great advantage of using this theme is that it is released under the GPL 3 license, i.e. it is open source and can be used and modified to our liking.

Install Nordic Theme on any Linux distribution

As I said before, it’s a GTK theme that requires at least version 3.20. In short, it is compatible with many Linux distributions such as Debian 9, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10, Linux Mint 19, Arch Linux or Manjaro.

First, download the theme using Git. Open a Terminal and run:

:~$ git clone https://github.com/EliverLara/Nordic.git

When you finish downloading the theme, you will have a folder called Nordic in your current location.

Now you must move it to the ~/.themes folder. If the folder doesn’t exist, you have to create it.

:~$ mv Nordic/ ~/.themes/

Now, select the downloaded theme from the tool that has your distribution. In the case of Ubuntu, open the Tweaks tool and choose the Nordic theme.

And now, you can enjoy your new theme installed.

Conclusion

One of the most enjoyable features of Linux is its ability to customize. Every day many GTK themes are published and with this new trend of dark themes appears Nordic.
