I just updated from ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 19.10, and I'm planning on moving to 20.04 when that comes out. I really like ambiance, and I love the soft charcoal colours. However, I can't find the gnome-shell theme that Ubuntu used back in 18.04. It looked great, and I really want it back. Is there a place I can nab it from?

Note: I already have the Ambiance window theme, just not the gnome-shell theme.

  • @PRATAP, It was the shell theme that came with 18.04. I don't have a link to it, since it was built-in.

  • @PRATAP, yes! I guess that's what I need. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post...

Note: This is just a workaround..

I have created a repository in git hub.. Download the files from there..

https://github.com/PRATAP-KUMAR/UbuntuStyleCSS-for-19.10

You will get two files after Extraction from zip..

  1. Ubuntu Directory
  2. ubuntu.css original Ubuntu 18.04 style sheet for referencing colors

put the Ubuntu Directory in your preferred location for gnome-shell theme like

  1. $HOME/.themes/ or
  2. $HOME/.local/share/themes/ or
  3. /usr/share/themes/

enter image description here

Refresh the gnome-shell with "Alt+F2 r Enter" method.

Open gnome-tweaks (If not yet installed.. install it by sudo apt install gnome-tweaks command) and choose Ubuntu from the drop down under "Shell"

gnome-shell extension User Themes must be enabled for above to work.

    Welcome.. If you want some changes.. Refer the ubuntu.css file and edit only the colors from gnome-shell.css file..
