This is better: Ubuntu 20.04 will introduce a new section "Appearance" from which we can choose our favorite theme

Appearance settings in Ubuntu 20.04

Many times we have mentioned that GNOME, the graphical environment that Ubuntu uses, is very customizable, but that many of the changes we want to make to Canonical's main operating system are not the easiest to apply or remember. The best example is to change the subject: do you really need to install Retouching to be able to do it? Yes. Although it seems that this will change in Ubuntu LTS 20.04 Focal Fossa if we pay attention to what Martin Wimpress has just published.

wimpress began to gain popularity approximately 6-7 years ago, when it took its first steps in Ubuntu MATE, which was nothing more than a version of Ubuntu that recovered the GNOME Shell that had given us such good times. The developer also has a say in the design of the standard version of Canonical's system and from what he posted a few hours ago, it looks like soon We can choose between the light, standard and dark themes from the Settings app of the operating system.

Appearance settings, as designed by @mpt during the Yary sprint, are taking shape in Ubuntu Focal Fossa.

At the time of this writing, there is no way to test what Wimpress advances us. The new Settings section has not yet appeared in the most updated Daily Build, but it is something that will surely reach Focal Fossa in less than two months. It should also be noted that, from what it seems and without more information about it, there will be other sections that will disappear, such as the Dock, since its options are included in the new Appearance section.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa will reach its stable version next Thursday April 23. It will be a release supported for 5 years and will introduce interesting news, among which a GNOME 3.36 It will continue to improve the performance of previous versions.

    Well, it would have to have that and several colors to change between the themes, many times it is not that the user wants to change the desktop theme but that he gets bored with the color of it.

      Come on, the level of customization that Gnome 2.x had.
      I still remember when you could install a theme simply by dragging the .tar.gz to the themes window, it's that simple. You could also modify the colors with 2 clicks.
      Several years have passed and Gnome 2.x is still more configurable than Gnome 3.x.
