\"Plata<\/a><\/p>\n

Plata<\/a> is a new Gtk+ theme based on the latest Material Design refresh. The theme comes in 3 variants, regular (mixed), Lumiere (light) and Noir (dark), each with regular and compact versions.<\/b>
\nThe theme, which mixes black, indigo and grey with bits of red and purple, supports Gtk+ 3.20.x, 3.22.x and 3.24.x, as well as Gtk+ 2, and a multitude of desktop environments like Gnome Shell (and Flashback), Cinnamon, Xfce, Mate, LXDE, and Budgie Desktop.<\/p>\n

Patheon (elementary OS), Unity 7 and ”<\/p>\n

Gnome Shell customized by Canonical<\/i><\/p>\n

” (the Ubuntu session) are not officially supported by Plata theme. I’ve used Plata in Ubuntu 18.10 with Gnome Shell and I didn’t notice any issues other than the theme GDM theme not being used, but this is only after about an hour of usage.<\/p>\n

When built from source, Plata theme lets users<\/a> disable support for particular desktop environments, enable Gtk+ 4.0 support, or change the 4 key-colors.<\/p>\n

The Plata theme designer (who also created Adapta theme) also offers<\/a> support for theming Firefox (through FirefoxColor test pilot), Gedit, Plank dock, or Telegram and TweetDeck.<\/p>\n

I’ve used Paper<\/a> icons in the screenshots from this article.<\/i><\/p>\n

Install Plata theme<\/h2>\n

Plata theme can be installed in Ubuntu or Linux Mint (and Ubuntu\/Linux Mint flavors) using the official theme PPA:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tista\/plata-theme
\nsudo apt update
\nsudo apt install plata-theme<\/p>\n

Since the theme needs Gtk+ 3.20 or newer, it’s available for Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10 and 19.04, as well as Linux Mint 19.<\/p>\n

Other Linux distributions users will need to compile the theme from source, as explain on its GitLab project page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
