Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?
How much theming does a terminal need? Personally my required features were a server and good font support. Currently I use the foot terminal: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot
I am thinking of something GTK so that Its theme changes when I change GTK Theme 😀.
So is the theming here for the window decorations or the text colour scheme?
Window decoration is primary but color scheme can extra goodness
Wayland?
Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.
New question
How to change my GTK4 theme. I was using nwg-look but it is not working for Console and Blackbox
Ah, that’s because GTK4 and libadwaita severely restricted custom theming. They may be ways around this but I have no idea because I use just
adw-gtk3as my theme so all my apps look uniform on Gnome.So I guess you’ll either search for a way to hack this or just stick to GTK3 apps if you don’t want the stock GTK4 look.
What about the normal GNOME Terminal? Or the new one called Blackbox?
GTK4. So no way to switch themes easily.
I think the normal GNOME Terminal still uses GTK 3
Did not worked for me 😕
Then maybe try Tilix? It’s very similar to the GNOME Terminal emulator (it includes some extra features) and it definitely uses GTK3
Hmm it is working.
But opening preferences crashes app.
Ok that’s weird. Might be Wayland related, I only tried it on Xorg.
Hmm, probably Wayland Related.
God damn these guys create a new terminal emulator every day
Crashing when I try to open preferences 🥲
But GTK theming is working. There is some vte issues with my system (Don’t know what) but thanks.
But I am unable to open tilix preferences. Whenever I hit preferences it crases.
Probably I should file an issue.
sakura terminal emulator for me 'cause I can edit color sets in its .config file and then switch between them under the right-click menus.
Your gtk theme wouldn’t change your terminal colours with the precision that just manually changing the colours would. Terminals only have 8 colour settings you need to set, it’s not exactly a crazy undertaking to change your terminal theme separate to your gtk theme
But just GTK theme based foreground and background colour?
The theme is such a small part of what a terminal can do. I would choose a terminal based on features and confirm it has a theme/colorscheme available that matches your preferences.
How to u see screen in daytime vs night time.
As other people have commented: why would GTK be so important? A terminal should be a bare window, without any decoration. At least that’s what I use: first setting I check in a terminal is “disable window title” or something like that.
Tabs, https://visor.binaryage.com/ visor mode terminals, integration with desktop themes, OS auth for allowing sudo, (e.g. biometrics). While you may prefer a bare minimum terminal, there’s plenty of valid use cases for a terminal with good integration to the desktop environment.
You’re portraying your personal preference as an expected standard.
So that I can switch theme of most portion of system in a go.
