Aura-glass Theme for Gnome

I created this theme as a side project

its a collection of extensions and the work of our amazing open-source community

What does it do ?

its a one-command run to install extensions and the theme files and a clean one-command uninstall

Features:

-It's a makeover for the gnome interface.

-Fully Dynamic blur with so much edits and work arounds to not make ur gpu/cpu suffer.

-all accent colors integrated with gnome native 9 colors so no inconsistency.

-Patched Custom OSD extension to get Minimalist pill-shaped volume/brightness OSD.

-Patched Custom Open Bar to make it consistent and fix it bugs.

-Optional translucent app windows for GTK4 + Electron apps, adjustable.

O-ptional GDM login screen theming with blur and matching ur current wallpaper.

-Optional Icons/cursors.

-Rounded-corner clipping fixed for the dynamic blur.

-a ton of css modification and fixes

Multi-monitor fixes like (and only installed if u have multiple monitors):

-there is an error with blurmyshell with the topbar bg.. fixed by refeash it values after 5sec when u login. u might see if it u pay close attention

-the login screen always on the primary monitor

finally..

i mainly used ai to create this theme but im 9 years front-end developer and 15 years into linux now. so i think ik what im doing

started this project as a gift for my gf who just started using linux

and i thought i share it with u guys

im gonna stop maintaining this theme when microsoft release an open-source version of windows (so.. never)

note that in the screenshots the blur is bugged is doesnt look like this on live but idk why its always bugged in the screenshots

and there is a lot i did it cant be all shown in a screenshot

try it out on ur pc its a 1 command uninstall :D

tested on CachyOS

aura-glass — a one-command makeover for GNOME 48-50, with real dynamic blur and native accent colors

Been building **aura-glass** — a makeover for GNOME Shell: real dynamic background blur (not a fake gradient) on the top bar, Quick Settings, app switcher, dialogs and notifications, plus full integration with GNOME's native accent color system so toggles, sliders and focus rings all shift with whatever accent you pick in Settings → Appearance.

One command to install, fully reversible, MIT licensed.

GitHub: https://github.com/DevWebeloper/aura-glass

**What it actually is:** not a theme built from scratch — it's an installer on top of some excellent existing work, with a layer of my own CSS fixes and glue on top

Features:

Real background blur on bar, popups, switcher, dialogs, notifications — not a static wallpaper blur

9 accent colors (purple, blue, teal, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, slate), wired into GNOME's own accent system

Optional translucent app windows for GTK4 + Electron apps, adjustable (82% deep / 90% balanced / 94% subtle)

Minimalist pill-shaped volume/brightness OSD Optional GDM login screen theming (--gdm, needs sudo — everything else doesn't)

GDM login screen theming with a wallpaper same as the desktop
