Apply the Shell Theme

Rewaita includes a matching GNOME Shell theme. Follow these steps to enable it.

  1. Install the User Themes extension. GNOME Shell requires the User Themes extension to load custom shell themes.

  2. Set any theme. Rewaita will generate the shell theme automatically and place it in ~/.local/share/themes. This can be disabled in preferences.

  3. Select it in GNOME Tweaks. Open GNOME Tweaks → Appearance → Shell and choose Rewaita from the dropdown.

Apply the GDM Theme

While Rewaita's theme is compatible with GDM, this process must be done manually. Step 3 needs to be repeated any time you change themes.

  1. Install GDM Settings. This is required to activate the theme safely.

  2. Run the overrides. After setting any theme, run these commands to give GDM Settings access to it:

    sudo flatpak override io.github.realmazharhussain.GdmSettings --filesystem=~/.local/share/themes/rewaita:ro

    sudo ln -sf ~/.local/share/themes/rewaita /usr/share/themes

  3. Choose the theme in GDM Settings. Open GDM Settings → Appearance → Shell and choose Rewaita from the dropdown.
