i tried compiling my own gnome-shell but that didnt work as the maia theme would just appear out of nowhere
and i want to get rid of it does anyone know how?
CHECK THE EDITED POST ALSO
I think recompiling the shell to get rid of a shell theme is the wrong approach,
if your “problem” is a default theme.
Remove the theme instead, if you don’t want to see it or have it.
Or keep it and just choose a different one …
manjaro-gnome-settings
or
manjaro-gnome-settings-shells
look like candidates
There is also a package
manjaro-gnome-vanilla
which very likely effects just that - a vanilla look and experience without Manjaro customizations.

thank you so much the manjaro-gnome-vanilla worked really well thank you
EDIT :
READ THIS ALSO
If you want to get rid of all of the customizations that manjaro came in with gnome, install manjaro-gnome-vanilla via pamac, and then open the cleanup manjaro gnome settings application should be in the application drawer. Follow the instructions, and once done don’t restart your computer yet. Make sure that you get rid of all of the essential packages that effect gnomes theming such as these packages sudo pacman -Rns manjaro-gnome-settings manjaro-gnome-backgrounds manjaro-gnome-vanilla manjaro-hello.
Run these commands to change it to the default Adwaita GTK 3/4
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Adwaita'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'Adwaita'
If you prefer the dark variant:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark'
once done restart your computer or restart gnome by running sudo systemctl restart gdm

hi ‘szymon42069’,
what do you mean with …
Is that Gnome’s “overview” showing the .desktop-files from ~/.local/share/applications and /usr/share/applications? … then clicking ceanup-manjaro-gnome (with the trowel icon)?
