The attention to details is astounding, and the selection of colors, fonts, UI component sizes and everything else makes a very beautiful Linux desktop a Linux desktop that you would want to open each day only to look how beautiful it is. If we are talking about user interfaces, then there’s no doubt that elementaryOS provides the best of it. The Desktop: The Most Beautiful Linux Distribution Default Desktop of elementaryOS 6 Odin We’ve been using the distribution for few days now, and here’s our review for elementary OS 6 Odin.

However, this version should probably not be recommended to the absolute new comer to the Linux world, as some expertise would be required to unlock its full potential.ĮlementaryOS 6 Odin was released few days ago, with many interesting features.
The attention to minor design details and options makes the user very comfortable in the day-to-day usage. Granite_ and UX are top-notch in elementary OS 6. Granite_settings.prefers_color_scheme = DARK Gtk_settings.gtk_application_prefer_dark_theme = ( Here’s where things differ more from the original elementary preference.Įlementary exposes the preference in Granite (right now it only works with the elementary preference, there’s a pull request to make it use the portal), and leaves everything else to apps, so using the API looks like this: Manually accessing the portal is a bit tedious, and so we wrap it into an easy to use API. Being in the portal also means it’s accessible to Flatpak apps without opening any sandbox holes. This way it’s not tied to any particular desktop or toolkit - any application can access the settings portal via DBus and read the preference - so applications like Firefox have a canonical location to access the preference from instead of trying to guess it from GTK theme name.
Xdg-desktop-portal-gnome already implements this key (in the main branch, not in 41), and there are work-in-progress elementary and KDE implementations. The new preference is defined in the settings portal as the -scheme key. The no-preference and prefer-dark values are exposed in settings, while the prefer-light value is reserved for future use.
#ELEMENTARY OS DARK THEME FREE#
All 3 are just hints - apps are free to follow or not follow them as appropriate. The idea is more or less exactly same as what elementary OS is doing: there’s a system preference, a tri-state with values: no-preference, prefer-dark, prefer-light. While I could introduce another preference in GNOME, it was a good excuse to standardize it instead. Since then, elementary OS has started shipping an elementary-specific implementation designed in a way that it could be standardized later without many changes. elementary UX architect Cassidy James Blaede did a good write-up about this, please read it if you haven’t yet (or watch his GUADEC talk if you prefer a video). It’s a frequently requested feature, but also hard to get right. Lately, I’ve been working on having a proper dark style preference in GNOME.
#ELEMENTARY OS DARK THEME UPDATE#
Please update your apps to support it, see the instructions.ĭark style preference in GNOME 42. TL DR GNOME will have a system-wide dark style preference in 42.
