Customize GNOME 42 with A Polished Look
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
**A tutorial on how you can give your favourite GNOME desktop a polished look, in 5 minutes.**
|
||
|
||
There are many ways you can customize your favourite GNOME desktop with icons, themes, cursors and wallpapers. This article shows you how to give the GNOME 42 desktop a more polished look. The GNOME 42 desktop environment is available with the recently released Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Fedora 36.
|
||
|
||
Before you read further, here’s how it looks with a side by side comparison (before and after).

|
||
|
||
I am going to divide this tutorial into two sections.
|
||
|
||
The first section deals with setting up and installing required packages. And second, how to apply various settings to get your desired look.
|
||
|
||
This tutorial was mainly tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. However, it should work in other variants of Ubuntu and Fedora.
|
||
|
||
### Customize GNOME 42 with a Polished Look
|
||
|
||
#### Setup
|
||
|
||
- First, enable your system for Flatpak because we need to install the Extension Manager to download some required GNOME Shell extensions for this tutorial.
|
||
|
||
- So, to do that, open up a terminal and run the following commands.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt install flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpakflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Reboot the computer once done.
|
||
|
||
- Then run the following command from the terminal to install the Extensions Manager app to download GNOME Shell Extensions.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
flatpak install flathub com.mattjakeman.ExtensionManager
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Open the Extension Manager application and install two extensions. The first one is **Floating Dock** which features a super cool dock which you can move around anywhere on your desktop. Second, install the **User themes** extensions to help you install the external GTK themes in your Ubuntu Linux.

|
||
|
||
- Secondly, install the [Materia Theme][5] using the below commands. You have to build it as it doesn’t have any executable. Run the following commands in sequence in Ubuntu to install.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
git clone https://github.com/ckissane/materia-theme-transparent.gitcd materia-theme-transparentmeson _buildmeson install -C _build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Additionally, download the [Kora Icon theme][6] from the below link. After downloading, extract the files and copy the below four folders to `/home/<user name>/.icons` path. Create the .icons folder if it is not present.

||
|
||
- Besides the above changes, download the awesome Bibata cursor theme from the below link. After download, extract and copy the folders to the same `/home/<user name>/.icons` folder.

|
||
|
||
- In addition to the above, if you want a nice font which goes with the above themes, [download Robot font][10] from Google Fonts and copy them to `/home/<user name>/.fonts` folder.
|
||
|
||
- Finally, restart your system once again.
|
||
|
||
#### Configuration
|
||
|
||
- Open the Extension Manager, enable the Floating Dock and User Themes, and disable the Ubuntu Dock.

||

- In addition, open the Floating dock settings and make the following changes.

||
|
||
- Cursor: Bibata-Original-Ice
|
||
- Shell Theme: Materia
|
||
- Icon: Kora
|
||
|
||
- Furthermore, open the [GNOME Tweak Tool][13], and go to the Appearance tab. Set the followings.
|
||
|
||
- Other than that, you may also want to change the font. To do that, go to the Fonts tab and change the document and interface to Robot 10pt.
|
||
|
||
- Alternatively, you can also change the accent colour and style from Settings which comes by default with Ubuntu 22.04.
|
||
|
||
- Finally, download a nice wallpaper as per your preference. For this tutorial, I have downloaded a sample wallpaper from [here][14].
|
||
|
||
- If all goes well, you should have a nice desktop, as shown below.
