Its main goal is to standarize and abstract hardware specific configurations and change your desktop colors with +350 different themes and wallpapers.

You can write some patterns with generic attributes, and then Gtheme will fill those values with the appropriate ones following the selected theme/settings.

The final result you get is that you can change between any desktop of your choice with a single command, and change the theme of all applications in a centralized and automatized way. Moreover, you can also install desktops from other people who had already adapted their dotfiles to Gtheme and everything will work just fine.

To sum up, you can try your favourite Unixporn ricings 🍚 (if authors port them to Gtheme)

First of all, you should clone this repo, run the installation script and follow the initial setup:

git clone https://github.com/daavidrgz/gtheme.git gtheme
cd gtheme
./install.sh

At the end, gtheme files should be placed in ~/.config/gtheme, where you can see a themes and a desktop folder where all color schemes and dotfiles are stored, respectively. You may see also a wallpapers folder if you choose to download them.

Besides, your system's settings will be loaded from ~/.config/gtheme/user_settings.toml. You can edit that file with gtheme config edit or run the setup again with gtheme config setup. This file is very important in order to be hardware agnostic and enjoy a full Plug and Play experience.

  Here are some examples:
