Adwaita-colors

Adwaita Colors enhances the Adwaita icon theme by integrating GNOME’s accent color feature, introduced in GNOME 47. This project ensures that your Adwaita icons reflect the same accent color as your GNOME theme, instead of the default blue, for a more cohesive and customized look.

GNOME 47 introduced a "color accent" feature to allow users to select a system-wide accent color. However, the default Adwaita icon theme does not automatically adapt to this accent color, leaving the icons in the default blue. Adwaita Colors fixes this by applying your chosen accent color to the icons.

In addition, I added MoreWaita icon folders and made them themed to allow for more extensive customization.

Installation:

Requirements:

This theme will not work properly without the original Adwaita icon theme.

Regular installation (Recommended & Updated):

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/dpejoh/Adwaita-colors

To install the icons globally, simply run:

sudo cp -r ./Adwaita-colors/* /usr/share/icons/

For immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue, the global installation is different, use:

sudo cp -r ./Adwaita-colors/* /var/usrlocal/share/icons/

For removing the icon theme run:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/icons/Adwaita-*

Note

You can also install the icon theme in the user directory without any problems, but for best compatibility with apps, it is recommended to install it system-wide.
