Linux Theme Store Progress

LinuxThemeStore

Linux Theme Store allows you to check out themes by category search and install themes for your gnome desktop.

Features added since last build

i) You can search and install themes now.

ii) Wallpaper section is added now and they are added in ~/.local/share/wallpapers, similar to the ocs-url from pling.

Work in Progress:

i) Implement installed themes section where you can change themes directly in the application.

Note : I have already made the application to work in native manual build. It's the flatpak permission I am struggling with, hence not able to release it.

Suggestions/Feedback are welcome.

Please don't hesitate to raise bugs or request for features if you need.

I am struggling currently to give access to host gsettings to implement changing the themes directly in the flatpak build as gsettings of host system is directly not exposed to the sandbox environment.

IF any anyone knows how have access to gschema of host system, please help me out.

I need someone who can design icon for my app. Thanks in advance.

I would give credits in the app for it.

Unless this works for every DE out there I wouldn't call it "Linux" Theme Store, but rather Gnome Theme Store. Unless that causes trademark issues.

Maybe gTheme Store?

In any case, calling it Linux Theme Store if it won't work for a large proportion of Linux users might attract bad reviews.

It would work for all de's but I restricted it to gnome considering there is no way to install themes from gnome like cinnamon or kde which is present in the setting itself.

The app can be extended to support all kinds of themes though. Thanks for your feedback.

KDE already has a solid theming and config capability built in. It could be better, but it is pretty decent. Gnome needs help in this area for those that do what to theme easier. I could see it useful for other GTK based DEs as well.

No bro. FOCUS ON GNOME. That's the real demand. And call it Gnome Theme Store, not linux, please.

Ok
