You can change the GDM theme by replacing the default GNOME Shell theme.
However, if it fails, the desktop environment may not operate correctly. So please be careful if doing this.
- When applying this, other third-party GNOME Shell themes would look broken until you restore to the original theme.
- If GNOME Shell has been updated, it will be restored to the original theme, so you will need to install this again.
- Select a GTK+ theme, then run the following commands to back up and replace the existing theme file.
GTK_THEME=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme | sed "s/'//g")
sudo cp -v --backup /usr/share{/themes/$GTK_THEME,}/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource
Developer note:
If you don't want to overwrite the backup on the second and subsequent runs, delete the--backup
option.
- Restart GNOME Shell. (If you are running GNOME on Xorg, press Alt + F2 then type
r
.)
- Restore to the original theme from the backup.
sudo mv -v /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource{~,}
- Restart GNOME Shell. (If you are running GNOME on Xorg, press Alt + F2 then type
r
.)
