Make Ubuntu Beautiful with Nordic, Papirus, and more!
After forcing myself to use stock Ubuntu for about a week its time to give it a better look. I apply the Nordic theme, Papirus icons and more! Methods used in this video can be applied to most themes.

I found another papyrus icons enjoyer 😮
I applied a gtk3.20 theme by EliverLara in this github repo following all the instructions. The theme was applied but firefox and probably other non-gtk apps do not adopt this theme. Is this any way to force adopt all apps to have the same theme? (window buttons like the nordic theme)
EliverLara also has a firefox nordic theme designed for firefox here, however it is very buggy when I apply it, it doesn't show the max,min buttons and completely breaks up.
Can you help? Any of these two solutions will be fine, I just want to implement the nordic theme on my firefox. firefox not working in nordic theme

In debian 12, nordic doesn't apply to files nautilus and other places, in short it doesn't apply system wide can you help with it
I have to create a linux distro with this theme
I don't know why I didn't have Ubuntu before, I've been in the Dark ages using Windows all my life.
Looks like if you are trying to use dash to dock now it can cause some issues when trying to hit win key and search. doubles letters when you press once
am I dumb? the nordic theme wont show up in the tweaks aplication I followed each step so I am confused
your tweaks appearance menu is different than mine. There's a 'legacy applications' option instead for me. I'm on fedora, and I extracted the nordic theme to the .themes folder, but it doesn't appear under any options either.
Can you make a video? (or consider it) to have a way to write-out or save all of these customizations. I am sure there are files written out that you could move to a new system. So, once you get all of these changes made, be nice just to know which files to backup, then you drop them on top of a new system. COuld you look into that?
Why now I have 2 docks totally the same
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-tweaks : Depends: gnome-shell-extension-prefs but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I have problem . plz help me!
this is amazing, thanks
What's the point of neofetch everytime?
Good video
qual o seu sistema operacional no dia a dia?
Very long process. This is easy setup in Arch-based distro. hehe…
I've been using Materia theme for ages. I'll try Nordic out based on this video
do you know of a good way to be able to click on open app icons on the fav bar to minimize the open item? I tried something I found, but it broke something and I had to reinstall.
Now that you've used Zorin, Ubuntu and a bunch of other distros that use Gnome, are you still on the KDE side or has Gnome managed to convert you?
I'm sorry for making this comment because I really like your videos (generally) and you have a great voice! But I think that calling the Ubuntu icon set butt ugly is completely inappropriate. Especially considering is is effort by humans given to you for free. Also what each individual consider beautiful is very subjective. Have a great day ☀️🌈
what version of ubuntu you used in this video?
Hello, thanks for these videos that you do of Ubuntu, the truth is always between Fedora and Ubuntu, most of the time I am in ubuntu, greetings.
Nordic looks more boring then other themes like Sweet
Also standard buttons for life
I love the nord theme, but your setup is incomplete: you should use the nordic icon theme (a papirus variant with nord colors), a proper nordic color scheme for both your terminal and for gedit, and of course you should consider changing default system fonts… something like Inter fits the nordic look so much better. BTW, I'm getting bored by these papirus icons to be honest: they are so flat and boring! I like Yaru icons better, even though I can't get over those grey folders. I wish they kept an option for orange folders instead (eoan style!).
ubuntu dock is actually a fork on dash-to-dock, only the configurations are hidden, but you can still change them via dconf
this makes me appreciate archlinux more
for nordic theme and papirus icons just do
yay -S nordic-theme-git papirus-icon-theme
Dark themes kill eyes
