Material GTK Theme

A GTK theme based on the colours of Marko Cerovac's great theme: Material for Neovim, the VinceLiuice's awesome: Graphite GTK theme and the creativity of Gusbemacbe's: Suru Plus Icon Theme.
Great to combine in your Gnome Desktop Environment and TWMs like: XmonadWM, AwesomeWM, BSPWM, etc... With support also for the desktop environments Cinnamon and XFCE.
You can check Reddit: r/unixporn to get some ideas.

Installing Themes

Before installing, make sure to install the Murrine Engine and gnome-themes-extra packages for the correct rendering of themes.

Here are some commands to install on some distributions.

• On Fedora run: sudo dnf install gtk-murrine-engine
• On OpenSUSE run: sudo zypper install gtk2-engine-murrine
• On Arch run: sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine
• On Debian and derivatives run: sudo apt install gtk2-engines-murrine

The themes work on versions 40 to 43 of the GNOME D.E. just follow the steps below for installation:

• Download the themes packs and extract them
• Move the extracted files to the following paths:
  • For GTK3: ~/.themes In this path you must move the entire theme folder.
  • For GTK4: ~/.config/gtk-4.0 The files to move to this path can be found inside the theme directory in the gtk-4.0 folder, copy only the assets, gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files or create a symlinks.

Applying the themes

• For GTK3, apply themes from Gnome Tweaks.
• For GTK4 applications it is only necessary to have moved the assets, gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files to the ~/.config/gtk-4.0 path, and if you notice that the theme has not been applied, just close and reopen the application.

Flatpak

• Applying GTK Themes to Flatpak Apps

  • Override flatpak themes to ~/.themes: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.themes

  • Override flatpak icons to ~/.icons: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.icons

  • Override flatpak themes to ~/.config/gtk-4.0 locally: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0

  • Override flatpak themes to ~/.config/gtk-4.0 globally: sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0

  • Alternative Flatpak Theming: stylepak

Clarifying some doubts.

This is just to clarify doubts about the abbreviations of the Themes, as many found the names confusing.

Abbreviation example	Explanation of abbreviations
Theme-Name-B	Theme with Border decoration
Theme-Name-B-LB	Theme with Border decoration and Legacy Buttons in Windows
Theme-Name-B-GS	Theme with Border decoration for Gnome Shell

Theme-Name-BL-LB	Theme Borderless decoration and Legacy Buttons in Windows
