How to remove default Manjaro GDM theme?

[AlanP]

Hello,

I want to remove the default Manjaro GDM theme and come back to the default blue GDM theme from Gnome.

I removed Manjaro-Gdm-branding package but nothing happens. So, how to have the default blue GDM theme from Gnome ?

Thanks.

I am not a gnome user, but the following strikes me from one of the tutorials:

[How To] Revert back to the original blue highlight of the Gnome shell

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ We know you’re the ultimate fan of the soft green highlight of the Manjaro branded Gnome shell. But some will prefer the authentic, legendary blue highlight of the Gnome desktop environment. Luckily for that, there’s two very simple methods to do so. That’s why I’m going to show you how to get back the original blue highlight of the Gnome shell. Methodology 1: Remove manjaro-gdm-theme Open a terminal and execute: sudo pacman -Rdd manjaro-gdm-theme Log out! log bac…

Always use the default GDM theme -from gnome-shell package, 
and not the manjaro-gdm-theme to start this quest/experiment

[How To] User level of modifying GDM theme

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ Many users find themselves in the situation that their custom theme is not matching satisfactory, for their aesthetics, the GDM theme, or simply what to change the accent colors of the default GDM theme installed. Since GDM is using *.gresource file, a direct edit to it is not possible and needs to be extracted first, and then recompiled. Here is how you can do that: Use this shell script to extract the original GDM theme. #!/bin/sh gst=/usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-t…

Manjaro-gdm-theme doesn’t exist with the last Manjaro Gnome. I will see if adwaita-maia-gdm is enabled and I will try to remove it. Before (previous versions), we removed Manjaro-gdm-branding and It worked.

Thanks for your help.

I am not a Gnome user - but I guess the package manjaro-gnome-vanilla is created for such purpose

Run the Manjaro Gnome Reset Tool

Deeply hidden is the gnome-shell-maia package

You will have to remove the gnome-shell-extension and gnome-browser-connector as well - but this does what your are looking for @AlanP

I used “Login Manager Settings” to change the Mouse Cursor on GDM (From the Horrible Black to the Awesome White One) and the whole GDM defaulted to Gnome Default, Blue with plain background and no Manjaro branding.

It’s an AppImage so should run without problems, but don’t forget after downloading it to Make it executable.

Currently, the only way to theme GDM is by compiling GNOME Shell with custom colors–that’s what we did with gnome-shell-maia.

manjaro-gdm-branding is just that–the Manjaro branding. We used to have manjaro-gdm-theme that changed the color.

Replace gnome-shell-maia with the regular gnome-shell package:

sudo pacman -Syu gnome-shell

Also change the Accent Color in the Custom Accent Colors GNOME Shell Extension preferences.

You will need to log off or reboot for the change to take affect.

@Yochanan: It works. Thanks.
@TheReaperUK: I was looking for that kind of software. Thank you very much for the information.
