Re: Gnome 3 themes, user overrides?

[Benjamin Otte <otte gnome org>]

I have no idea how all this stuff works, I just know it's kinda suboptimal and
underdefined[1].

But what I've been doing for modifying my own theme:

mkdir -p ~/.themes/MyTheme/gtk-3.0
cat > ~/.themes/MyTheme/gtk-3.0/gtk.css << EOF
@import url("/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css");
/* My changes go here */
EOF
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme MyTheme

For added fun, you can replace 'MyTheme' with 'Adwaita'.
