Ubuntu gnome-shell purple design












1















How do I remove Ubuntu gnome-shell theme and restore the original one? I already tried sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css (gnome-shell.css). However, this only done like 75% work done. The login screen is now in default gray colors as I wanted but when I suspend my computer login screen is purple again. I also see purple corners when gnome-shell is loading.

  • after suspend is it a login screen or unlock screen?

if i understood your question correctly, you want to go back to default theme..
you can use the same command again and select the number 0



sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css



$ sudo update-alternatives --config gdm3.css
[sudo] password for mkr:
There are 2 choices for the alternative gdm3.css (providing /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css).

Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css 15 auto mode
1 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css 15 manual mode
* 2 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css 10 manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 0
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css to provide /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css (gdm3.css) in auto mode
$


If you want to apply the changes to unlock-screen also, this answer may help.

Edit:
as per the comments, you have manually deleted the folder Yaru
to install yaru-theme package run the below command,



sudo apt install yaru-theme-gnome-shell



$ sudo apt install yaru-theme-gnome-shell
[sudo] password for mkr:

yaru-theme-gnome-shell is already the newest version (18.10.6).
yaru-theme-gnome-shell set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded.
$


It says this is already the newest version, may be because we have manually deleted the folder Yaru



so, sudo apt purge yaru-theme-gnome-shell



$ sudo apt purge yaru-theme-gnome-shell
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
xwayland
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ubuntu-desktop* ubuntu-session* yaru-theme-gnome-shell*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 17 not upgraded.
After this operation, 637 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


Please note that the command sudo apt purge yaru-theme-gnome-shell will also remove ubuntu-desktop* and ubuntu-session* along with yaru-theme-gnome-shell*



Once we continue with Yes,



we need to again install ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-session packages..



sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-session



$ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-session
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
yaru-theme-gnome-shell
The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded.
Need to get 113 kB of archives.
After this operation, 637 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
