Yaru is the default GNOME/GTK theme suite for Ubuntu, including GTK2/3 light and dark themes, a GNOME Shell theme, an icon and cursor theme, and a sound theme. It is community-maintained and written primarily in SCSS.
Use cases
- make my linux desktop look like ubuntu
- install the yaru gtk theme on another distro
- get a dark theme for gnome shell
- customize ubuntu's default icons and cursors
- contribute to ubuntu desktop theming
- use ubuntu's sound theme elsewhere
When to choose
- you want the authentic Ubuntu look on GNOME or another GTK desktop
- you need matching light/dark GTK, shell, icon, and sound themes
- you're building a GTK app that should blend into Ubuntu
When to avoid
- you use a non-GTK desktop like KDE Plasma
- you want a highly customizable theme framework rather than a fixed Ubuntu style
- you're on an old GTK version not covered by the suite
