On the hunt for the popOS 22.04 gnome theme

Help
1

I have a lot of doubt that there is anything like this available currently (as a flake or gnome theme). However, I am a sucker for the older popOS 22.04 gnome theme you get when you would install popOS 22.04.

Does anyone know if something like this exists anywhere in the NixOS ecosystem?

I understand there the gtk theme in Nixpkgs, but it certainly doesn’t work well with the latest version of Gnome…curious if it would even be possible use an older version of Gnome

literally that theme is :slight_smile:

Presently v5.4.4 in NixPkgs when v5.5.5 is out, but should be easy to write the update if you want it

Ah sorry, first time I read this I thought you were saying you were aware that GTK themes in general are in nixpkgs, but now I clearly read it as that you are aware pop-gtk-themeis in nixpkgs!

You could run an old version of NixOS (specified as an input in flake.nix) to get an old version of GNOME, but that will come with a load of security issues and possibly compatibility issues if you want to run newer software

Am also looking out for a theme I like.
Not sure if I like Pop!_OS theme or not
but the latest commit

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  gnomeExtensions.user-themes
  pop-icon-theme
  (pop-gtk-theme.overrideAttrs {
    src = fetchFromGitHub {
      owner = "pop-os";
      repo = "gtk-theme";
      rev = "25ea85d97126992024b03bfb4e4c3b0711c749ed";
      hash = "sha256-MBcbrcZlFANWvw4W8kDn+C99c0xp7FXnM/BlB5C3sAw=";
    };
  })
];

Is a lot better than the version in nixpkgs
Also set accent color in Settings>Appearance>Accent Color, though the orange and yellow options are a bit different than the one used by Pop!_OS and the close button doesn’t have the accent color like I see in screenshots.
