## What it is
WhiteSur GTK Theme is a macOS Big Sur-style theme for GTK-based Linux desktops, supporting GTK3, GTK4, GNOME Shell, GDM, Flatpak apps, and Firefox. It ships with an installer script offering many customization options such as opacity, color variants, and accent colors.

## Use cases
- make my linux desktop look like macos
- install a macos big sur theme for gnome
- theme gtk4 and gtk3 applications consistently
- apply a matching theme to firefox and flatpak apps
- customize gnome shell appearance with a dock and blur
- change accent colors and light/dark variants of my gtk theme

## When to choose
- you use a GTK-based desktop like GNOME, XFCE, Cinnamon, or MATE and want a polished macOS look
- you want an actively maintained theme with installer scripts and many variants
- you want consistent theming across apps, Flatpak, GDM, and Firefox

## When to avoid
- you use a Qt-only desktop like KDE Plasma without GTK apps
- you want an original theme rather than a macOS clone
- you need a theme for non-Linux platforms such as Windows or macOS itself
