Re: how/where to find Gnome Preferences Tool?

Thanks very much, Tom.  That's a lot of themes to choose from! I'm concerned though most with functionality.  Specifically, I'm after (1) scroll buttons on the windows and, (2) I'd like to have much more of a color difference of the window having the focus from the other windows.  I've opened a separate thread about scroll buttons (if that email is allowed to come through onto this list).

Hi there,

i can recommend themes from https://github.com/vinceliuice?tab=repositories.

You find these and other GTK 3/4 themes as well as Gnome-Shell themes here: https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/135/order/latest/

br,

You can still change themes in Tweaks, in the Appearance section. I've never seen a theme that looks nicer than Adwaita though.

    Hello Ken,

    "changing themes" was a feature in earlier versions of Gnome.

    I think in newer versions actually - "changing themes" has been
    left away.

    Gnome is not like KDE.

        Carl,

        Using preferences (Settings is what I think we're talking
        about) and gnome-tweaks is not at all difficult-- well,
        finding what needs to be changed is the most difficult, and
        knowing the correct terminology to run a search.  But I've
        used both of those apps to make a lot of changes already.

        What's much more difficult is making changes in gnome (or are
        they in Wayland?) which are no longer configurable using
        Settings or gnome tweaks... or perhaps not configurable at all
        in gnome.

        Hello Ken,

        for how to use preferences in Gnome or how to use
        gnome-tweaks, you could explore forums
        like
        ubuntu.com <http://ubuntu.com> or askubuntu.com
        <http://askubuntu.com>

        There are minimum differences, when you use Gnome in
        different distros.

        This way gnome-tweaks works.
        You only need to know the version
        for searching in forums.

            Ken, that Desktop User Guide is very old (see the last
            modified times
            of files in https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/
            <https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/>) and it does not refer
            to GNOME 3 desktop environment used in Fedora 33.
