Use Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome shell in 18.10

I recently installed Ubuntu 18.10 and wasn't really a fan of the UI changes. I've already reverted the icons and window style using Gnome Tweaks. Now I want to do the same for the shell, but I don't know where I can find the shell theme used in Ubuntu 18.04. How can I revert the Gnome shell so that it looks like it did on Ubuntu 18.04?



Compare the appearance of the top bar on 18.04 and 18.10.

    How does it not look like it did in 18.04 exactly? If you simply set the system theme to Ambiance it should look about the same, AFAIK.

  • @X-Neon What's the output of ls /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ in Terminal?

  • I'm away from the PC at the minute, but I'm pretty sure it was gnome-shell.css gdm3.css and the Yaru folder.
