Where are Adwaita, HighContrast and HighContrastInverse GTK themes located in Ubuntu 18.04?



When I opened gnome tweaks in Ubuntu 18.04, I found these 3 themes but could not find the location.

  • They're are built into "GNOME". They're not separate themes in the conventional sense.

GTK+ includes the Adwaita and HighContrast themes




From https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/CustomStyle and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/tree/master/gtk/theme



Basically, Adwaita and the High Contrast theme are now part of GTK+ (the GIMP Toolkit) and no longer provided as separate themes as Ambiance or Radiance are.



In a comment to this answer ,there is a mention of gnome-themes-extra with a link to https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/gnome-themes-extra/filelist



The referenced package list has:



/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libadwaita.so
/usr/share/doc/gnome-themes-extra/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/gnome-themes-extra/README.md
/usr/share/doc/gnome-themes-extra/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/gnome-themes-extra/copyright


In other words, this package does provide Adwaita, but only for gtk2 applications.



apt show gnome-themes-extra has:



Description: Adwaita GTK+ 2 theme — engine
This is the version of Adwaita, the standard GNOME theme, for the
GTK+ 2.x toolkit.
.
The GTK+ 3.x version is already included in libgtk-3-0.
.
This package contains the Adwaita theme engine.


In short,there's no way to remove Adwaita or High Contrast themes without removing libgtk-3-0 itself which will take out a host of applications depending on libgtk-3-0.



You can simulate what will happen by using -s for ensuring a simulation. Because it's a simulation, there's no need for sudo:



apt purge -s libgtk-3-0


The exact output will depend on what you have on your system.
