Communitheme, a custom Ubuntu theme created by different members of the Ubuntu Linux community, is now available as a Snap package for the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system. Ubuntu contributor Didier Roche announced today that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS early adopters can now install the Communitheme Ubuntu theme Snap package on their computers. You can install it by executing the " snap install communitheme " command in the Terminal application .
Themes come in many variants, GTK+ 2, GTK+ 3 and Qt frameworks as well as GNOME Shell UI in STABLE and EDGE Snap channels. While most users should install Communitheme from the stable channel, bleeding edge users can install it using the " snap install communitheme --edge " command.
"In contrast to PPAs, Snaps can be found directly through the Ubuntu Software application, as well as through a quick search command," Didier Roche explained. "Even so, if something goes really bad, Snaps allow us to revert to previous channels."
Once installed, to use Communitheme, you must restart your Ubuntu PC or log out of your current session and select the "Ubuntu with Communitheme snap" or "Ubuntu with Communitheme snap on Wayland" session from the login screen before logging in.
Track new Communitheme releases and remove Snap packages
Snaps installed on Ubuntu machines can be easily updated by using the " snap refresh " command, so if you want to track a new Communitheme release on either channel, you can use "snap refresh communitheme --edge" or " snap refresh communitheme --edge" stable " command.
If you don't like Communitheme, you can use the " snap revert communitheme " command to remove it from your Ubuntu PC. More technical details on Communitheme can be found in Didier Roche's in-depth coverage. It appears that Ubuntu 18.10 will be the first version to ship Communitheme by default.
