Fluent-gtk-theme VS blur-my-shell

What I use to make my Pop_Os look good is the Fluent theme in github. It is the only thing that makes gnome usable to me. Fluent theme

Try this one - https://github.com/vinceliuice/Fluent-gtk-theme Theres also matching kde theme so it looks consistent

You have to use a different gtk theme and set font scaling down. Fluent gtk theme is the most compact theme that I used previously. The same developer has other compact themes too.

So I installed a theme for GNOME when I know I probably shouldn't have. I installed Fluent GTK and now my extensions look like this.

gtk: fluent-dark-compact

GNOME Extensions : quick-settings-tweaker, appindicator and KStatusNotifier, arcmenu, blur-my-shell, dash-to-panel, forge, gsconnect, just-perfection, show-desktop-button, space-bar, user-themes and vitals

You can install blur my shell extension to modify the look.

if you want blurred backgrounds, the extension blur my shell will work.

Why don't you just look at the source code? https://github.com/aunetx/blur-my-shell

Blur my Shell - Blurs the background in the overview.

dnf install gnome-browser-connector Firefox extension: {addons.mozilla.org} - Resource Monitor • Show system resources in the top bar - User Themes • Custom themes (may break some things) - Dash To Dock • turns the application launcher into a macos style dock - Blur My Shell • make the UI glassy

In my case, I'm using the Blur My Shell extension, so it basically takes whatever background image I have and places it in the overview with a blur effect (though you can also remove the blur completely and just use the extension to set your background as your overview background). By default it will blur a lot of things around your desktop, like the top bar, for instance— just disable anything you don't want; I personally only leave the Overview blur active.
