GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 791299
Lock screen doesn't respect gnome shell theme choice
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:05:10 UTC
I'm using ubuntu bionic (prerelease). The lockscreen theme doesn't follow the selected gnome shell theme, as it used to do, but instead it always uses gnome-shell.css if logged in as Gnome session (default vanilla GNOME settings) or ubuntu.css if logged as Ubuntu session (session with Ubuntu specific tune-in). The currently selected gdm theme is ubuntu.css, but after login it's not respected either. ``` There are 3 choices for the alternative gdm3.css (providing /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/pop.css 20 auto mode 1 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css 5 manual mode 2 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/pop.css 20 manual mode * 3 /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ubuntu.css 10 manual mode ``` The selected shell theme is Arc-Darker, from the Ubuntu repositories. This happens both in the Wayland and Xorg sessions.

(In reply to fcole90 from comment #0) > The lockscreen theme doesn't follow the selected gnome shell theme, as it > used to do Theming isn't officially supported, but if it used to work, this is likely a downstream issue - there have been no related changes upstream for two years or so ... Can this be reproduced on non-Ubuntu systems?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
