Theme & Color Customization
Ubuntu MATE Colors - Utility to provide customized versions of Ambiant-MATE and Radiant-MATE themes. This small program takes ubuntu-mate-artwork (theme & icons) and swaps out the green to a color of your choice.
If you are using Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS, 19.10, or 20.04 LTS then changing your system's colors just got a lot easier. Luke Horwell recently created recolored variants of the latest Ambiant-MATE, Ambiant-MATE-Dark and Radiant-MATE themes for Ubuntu MATE. These features were added to the Ubuntu MATE Welcome Screen.
Click on the Color Selection button in the lower right corner of the Welcome Screen to open the Color Selection screen or dialog box. The Default color is Green, but you can install and change the color to Blue, Orange, Purple, Teal, Aqua, Brown, Pink, Red, and Yellow.
This utility provides customised versions of Ambiant-MATE, Ambiant-MATE-Dark, and Radiant-MATE themes. These are the only themes supported at the momoment.
