WARNING: Ubuntu disco (19.04) & eoan (19.10) packages are very outdated and incompatible with GNOME 3.32 or later! If you're using GNOME on Ubuntu 19.04 or 19.10, I highly recommend manual installation below.
All 6 variants are available via Flathub:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Materia{,-dark,-light}{,-compact}
- Clone the repository and move into the project directory in the terminal:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme
cd materia-theme
- Build and install it using Meson:
meson "build"
sudo ninja -C "build" install
Alternatively, you can use ./install.sh
script without using Meson:
sudo ./install.sh

Run ./install.sh --help
for details.
Delete the installed directories:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Materia{,-dark,-light}{,-compact}
- To properly display the theme, use a font family including Medium weight (e.g. Roboto or M+).
- Set the font size to
9.75
(= 13px at 96dpi) or10.5
(= 14px at 96dpi).
To use the Chrome theme;
- Open the
chrome
folder on/usr/share/themes/Materia<-variant>
. - Drag and drop the
.crx
files into the Chrome/Chromium Extensions page (chrome://extensions
).
You can change the GDM (lock/login screen) theme by replacing the default GNOME Shell theme.
See gnome-shell/README.md
for details.
Materia can be customized with GUI application, oomox theme designer.
Materia also allows you to change the color scheme relatively easily in other ways. See HACKING.md
for details.
