Ask Ubuntu Asked by ludant on November 26, 2021
I’d like to edit the dark Yaru theme for Ubuntu 20.04 (specifically the bright orange color on highlighted/selected items). from other questions here I think I have to edit /usr/share/themes/Yaru/gtk-3.20/gtk.css
, but the entire file is:
@import url("resource:///com/ubuntu/themes/Yaru/3.20/gtk.css");
What is resource:///com/ubuntu/themes/Yaru/3.20/gtk.css
and how do I edit it?
There is a file gtk.gresource
in the same directory. It contains all packed theme files. resource:///com/ubuntu/themes/Yaru/3.20/gtk.css
refers to gtk.css
file packed inside this file.
You can view a list of all packed files with a command
gresource list gtk.gresource
You can unpack a particular file using a command eg.
gresource extract gtk.gresource /com/ubuntu/themes/Yaru/3.20/gtk.css >somefile.css
Note that the contents of the file is extracted to stdout so you have to redirect it to some other file.
I don't know however how to pack the files again into gtk.gresource
after editing. But you don't have to pack them, you can unpack all files from gtk.gresource
file and leave them in unpacked form.
I recommend however that you don't edit the Yaru theme in place because your changes might be overwritten when the theme's files are updated. Make a copy, change the theme's name (you must edit index.theme
file in theme's main dir) to something that is unlikely to be used by standard themes (I use "My Theme" for example) and edit the copy.
