🌑 Mafork Theme 🌑

Note

Mafork is a personal theme made for my desktop. It is a slimmed-down, rounded GTK theme built for GNOME Shell and GTK 3/4 applications. It ships with Libadwaita support, Flatpak integration, and an easy-to-use mafork.sh installer.

🌟 Features

• rounded dark UI – unified dark look across GTK 3, GTK 4, and GNOME Shell.
• GNOME Shell theming – panel, dash, app grid, notifications, quick settings, and more.
• GTK 3 / GTK 4 support – consistent styling for legacy and modern apps.
• Libadwaita support – install the theme directly into ~/.config/gtk-4.0/ for libadwaita apps.
• Flatpak integration – connect the GTK3 theme to Flatpak apps with one flag.
• SCSS based build – edit source files under src/sass/ and compile with build.sh.
• Easy install / uninstall – one script handles install, partial removal, and full cleanup.

💻 Installation

terminal

# 1. Compile the CSS
./build.sh

# 2. Install the theme locally
./mafork.sh

📦 Flatpak apps

To disconnect the theme from Flatpak, run:

./mafork.sh -RF

You may also need to allow Flatpak access to your GTK config:

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0

🎨 Customization

This repo is intentionally slimmed down to the components that affect GNOME Shell and GTK 3/4 apps. All styling lives in SCSS under src/sass/ and is compiled with ./build.sh.
