I started my journey away from Windows with Pop back in May 2020 (last screenshot) and switched to Arch after 6 months to get more familiar with Linux. Faced challenges and learned a lot. Now, as a professional 3D artist, I return to Pop OS for stability—full circle after 3 years!

They are probably using gtk4 so they use libadawaita instead of gtk3 themes. There are not a lot of good gtk4 themes. I like Flat Remix (see also the generate-color-theme.sh that lets you generate a variant with your own highlight colors). There's also Gradience that lets you customize the default libadiwaita theme but I haven't used it much.

You can customize gtk3 widgets with CSS in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css but it would be a huge pain to try and change everything covered by a gtk theme. Its probably best to just find a nice gtk3 theme that fits your awesome style (or find a nice base theme that allows generating a version with custom colors like the generate-color-theme.sh from flat-remix-gtk).
Best LibAdwaita-compatible themes?

I am currently using Flat-Remix, which has GTK3 and GTK4/LibAdwaita support. There are some minor GUI bugs but nothing major.
I am finally satisfied with my Pop OS setup.

Gnome Extensions app not using GTK theme since Gnome 40 update, is someone having the same problem?
3 projects | /r/gnome | 12 Apr 2021

I'm using Flat Remix, it is divided in two packages "Flat Remix GTK" and "Flat Remix Gnome", the last one was updated to Gnome 40 and every application is working with no problems, except for Gnome Extensions, that's what I found weird.
