Dark theme on nemo

  • 772

enter image description hereNew Linux user here. I have a dark theme on Ubuntu 22.04 but Nemo 5.24 it does not show up. Is there anyway to set a dark theme in Nemo? I saw an answer to a question similar to mine but it was made long time ago and it did not seem to work for me. enter image description here

  1. You can try to achieve a dark theme in Nemo by changing the system theme in Gnome Tweaks.

    To install Gnome Tweaks:

    sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

    When you open the application you will see something like this:

    Gnome Tweaks App

    Navigate to Appearance -> Styles -> Legacy Application. By default The theme should be "Yaru". In the drop down menu, find Yaru-Dark (it might be close to the bottom) and press it:

    Yaru Dark

    Now Nemo should look like this:

    Nemo

    There are a lot of other themes. I would recommend to experiment until you find one you like. There is also the option to install other themes.
