Did all that, still not working. :frowning:

I am coming here from manjaro after 4 years. (fatal crash after system update)

Do not use pamac, please. :slight_smile:

Upstream GNOME problem?

hey SGS what is the correct way to install themes? (because the way above was how i used to do it in manjaro and it worked)

I checked some gnome forums, i dont see anyone else reporting these issues.

6

Search with pamac, install with pacman.

sudo pacman -Syu dracula-gtk-theme-git

i had everything working fine in my old manjaro install, so i guess something changed in gnome 44

No not really gnome does not support 3rd party themes since version 40. and Manjaro just bastericses everything it touches

GNOME nowadays uses libadwaita, which is no longer easily themable… I imagine this might be the reason.

Edit: it seems you were faster :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
