The patch seems to not work with me on 1.9.0 (was working on 1.8.4) so I patched it myself.

Step 1: Clone the package

Step 2: edit the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO files so they point to 1.9.0 with pkgrel=1

Step 3: open the patch, delete everything and copy the patch below

Step 3: Build the package normally using makepkg -sir

1.9.0 here: https://github.com/silvertuanzi/libadwaita-without-adwaita I’m considering adopting this package. I’m still getting familiar with maintaining AUR packages, but I can keep the package updated and handle patch adjustments when possible.

silvertuanzi commented on 2026-04-04 11:04 (UTC)

libadwaita 1.9.0 depends gtk4>=4.21, but [extra] repo has 4.20.4 and [gnome-unstable] has 4.22.2.

So it's not needed to bump to 1.9.x until gtk4 bumping to 4.22

The libadwaita in [extra] is 1.8.4, just update this PKGBUILD to 1.8.4 should work.

gehenna14 commented on 2026-04-02 09:36 (UTC)

Please update to 1.9.0! I cannot submit an out-of-date flag because there already is one.

kanehekili commented on 2026-02-11 23:35 (UTC)

Thanks for maintaining this. Makes individual theming possible. Very much appreciated!

Having a minor issue where icons (on action buttons, in search field) are too close to the text on their right. Observed in Pamac with Yaru and Mint-Y.

Usucra commented on 2025-11-05 16:11 (UTC)

@subez The 1.8 Update doesn't seem to work for me, all I get is a Transparent Window (I'm on KDE). Tried the old arc-gtk-theme and the whitesur-gtk-theme from the AUR for testing both with similiar error messages like "Failed to import: The resource at “/org/gnome/theme/gtk.css” does not exist"

subez commented on 2025-10-17 15:58 (UTC)

@guiodic somehow it got pushed.

sorry for inconvenience.
