Gnome 43.1 support

[sekhm]

I recently attempted to install the Nordic theme for Gnome 43.1, however I encountered some odd behavior with Nautilus and many other programs with a similar interface: several button listings are not properly rendered.

Additionally, this occurs when I go Settings > About.

I noticed that when I attempt to launch Nautilus using Firefox in a file uploading form, the Nautilus window is correctly prompted.

Hello, I also run Archlinux and i installed Nordic from Gnome-look. I can't have as good a result as you in Gnome-shell windows. The settings window is white or a bad brown. The same thing for Nautilus. It's ok with olds apps.

Which link did you follow for download or install the theme ?

The same thing happened in my instance of arch linux and fedora 37. Basically it is a common problem with all themes - they all have some artifacts on the new version of Gnome DE. All themes need to be adjusted, as probably something changed in how they use gtk4 now. I hope this theme will be adjusted.

Right, I had to run a python script from libadwaita-theme-changer and reboot my computer, and it worked finally!

This solution not worked for me.

Same issue with manjaro. Did you find any solution?

[Liameternal]

I have the same problem with fedora37, gnome43. style doen not apply to file manger and settings, chrome, telegram the python script from libadwaita-theme-changer just solve settings rending problem, but others remain. Is this a bug? or is there any other solution? Thanks in advance!

I have the similar problem as well. I'm using Nixos with gnome 43.2 as you can see, the theme is set properly on the gnome tweak app, but not in calculator and file manager. I'm not sure how to debug the issue

[ventoux84]

I switched to Plasma for the same theme. All ok.

{
    ......
    home.sessionVariables = {
        GTK_THEME = "Nordic";
        QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="Nordic";
    };
}

in your home.nix if ure using home-manager

I have the same problem on NixOS Unstable with Gnome 44.1

plus, I got these outputs when opening nautilus

@Cryolitia this is odd, I tried to reproduce the issue in a similar environment in a VM but everything looks fine:

Before applying gtk4 styles:

After aplying gtk4 styles:

Have you faced similar issues with another themes?

[cenunix]

could you please tell us how you applied the themes @EliverLara

Edit: I believe I have found the issue, if you take a look at the source for the nordic package in nixpkgs. it isn't even copying any gtk-4.0 folders over. I would assume this will cause issues for anyone using NixOS and the nordic package. I will attempt to fix this and then submit a pr to nixpkgs. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/data/themes/nordic/default.nix

This is my NixOS profiles, and the issue happend on all of my two devices.

[aacebedo]

@EliverLara how did you solve this issue? I still have the same issue on nixos 23.11

[svanschu]

I have similar problems on Manjaro

[brumik]

Anybody solved the problem here? I am on a fresh nixos setup and both unstable and stable nordic theme has the same problem as the original post. I would also love to see which config worked in the VM.

Edit: I got this working manually copying the ccs from Nordic40 in both gtk4 and gtk3 forlders in .config and moving the 'assets' to the config folder. So I expect that the NixOS package is out of date (or the post processing script is not correct maybe?)

Edit2; It seems like home manager's gtk pulling and old one:

Edit3: I made a workaround until figuring out packages: https://github.com/brumik/config/commit/8a113a346ebf7bca59370632c748eb30fd15123f#diff-558a02a936edbbeb00f882ca7aaf2eb4f962bd6f45eb9d4635b44363c9794bbb (this is dirty so use it on your own peril)

The nordic package in nixpkgs copies everything (including the gtk-4.0 folder) from the master branch of the upstream nordic and nordic polar repositories: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/data/themes/nordic/default.nix#L96. Afterwards it deletes the source files that are not needed, leaving the same files one can find in the themes distributed in https://www.pling.com/p/1267246/

The gtk4-0 directory is there:

$ ls -l /run/current-system/sw/share/themes/Nordic/gtk-4.0

Remember that currently there is no automatic way for setting a particular gtk-4.0 theme. The user should link the desired gtk-4.0 theme files and assets to the ~/.config directory:

$ ln -s /run/current-system/sw/share/themes/Nordic/gtk-4.0/* ~/.config/gtk-4.0/
$ ln -s /run/current-system/sw/share/themes/Nordic/assets ~/.config/

As I do not use home-manager to manage user configuration files, I can not help with it.
