Yaru818

My personal fork of the yaru theme (for cinnamon and gtk).

Installation

Prerequisites

It is recommended to install the humanity-icon-theme first, as our icon pack depends on it.

sudo apt install ./humanity-icon-theme_VERSION.deb

Distribution packages

• Debian package (.deb)
Download the debian package from releases and install-it.

sudo apt install ./yaru818-theme_VERSION.deb

Configuration

1. Select Yaru818-dark in the theme settings of your desktop-manager.
   To apply it automatically to Cinnamon, run:

   gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface gtk-theme Yaru818-dark
   gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface icon-theme Yaru818-dark
   gsettings set org.cinnamon.theme name Yaru818-dark

2. Enable the dark variant by default in GTK applications:
   (otherwise some applications will use the light variant)

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
   

Flatpak

The package is designed to support Flatpak easily (despite flatpak/flatpak#4896 / flatpak/flatpak#5040).

To enable Flatpak support, run the following command (as user, not as root!):

/opt/yaru818-theme/configure-flatpak

Cinnamon configuration

• Font Selection:
  • Default font: Sans Regular 9
  • Window title font: Sans Regular 9
