Arch Linux User Repository

Although there has been a new upstream release (20.04.2), it is based on changes to gnome-shell in the upcoming gnome 3.36 release, and has some minor issues when running on gnome-shell 3.34. So this AUR package should be held at 20.04.1 until gnome 3.36 hits Arch likely in March.

FYI one can now select the gnome-shell theme (dark or light) from gnome-tweaks, so use of yaru-session is optional. The only noticeable difference I see is that yaru-session changes the appearance of the lock screen as well.

(@drakkan I unstickied your comment advising that this was not possible in the previous version)

i am not using login screens or any stuff that manages sessions

so this works fine:

GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=yaru QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session gnome-session

Just a heads up, there are directory layout changes in the upcoming Yaru release that will require changing this PKGBUILD. See yaru-git if you want to copy its PKGBUILD. Furthermore, the shell theme will be selectable in gnome-tweaks from the next release, so using the session will be optional.

If anyone wants to build the dark version of the gnome shell theme, they can add the following prepare() function to the PKGBUILD:

prepare(){
    sed -i  s/light/dark/ yaru/gnome-shell/src/gnome-shell.scss
}

In the long run, Yaru aims to provide a switchable dark/light shell theme:

@drakkan it is indeed! Thanks

@figue, it should be better now, thank you for your suggestion

@drakkan thanks for these packages.

Only one request: can you hide all these hundreds of thousands lines while building? It's impossible to find anything significant in that huge log.

Thanks!

Why is this package flagged out of date? Can you please remove the flag? the latest release is 19.10.2 https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/releases

@chrisjbillington thanks for the investigation I reverted to 19.04.3
