This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.



















  • It's too broad. There are many aspects of the theme (or look-&-feel), it depends on which part you want to modify. Also note that 16.04 uses Unity by default whereas 18.04 uses GNOME, many differences between the themes of these two versions may stem from this fact.

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS uses GTK+ 3.18 so it's Unity 7 or GNOME desktop expects that software stack. The GNOME version & stack required for the 18.04 desktop is 3.28 - so you'd be upgrading a ton of software (apps would need to match the GTK+ stack version in use) - upgrading to 18.04 LTS is your easiest option unless you're happy to use GNOME 3.18 supported by Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

  • Will that give the OP the new Yaru theme? I think not!

  • I understand that Yaru theme is the default in 18.10, and @Vicrobot asked for 18.04. He didn't specify that it is required.
