Use normal Yaru theme variant in 21.10

Solution 1:

I had the same problem, I really liked the mixed theme, the regular light and dark are just ugly to me. I managed to "hack it back" with the following steps:

  1. Install Ubuntu 21.04 as a Virtual Machine (or on a regular machine).
  2. Export the following directories from your 21.04 Ubuntu: /usr/share/themes/Yaru , /usr/share/themes/Yaru-light , /usr/share/themes/Yaru-dark
  3. Copy the exported folders to ~/.themes on your 21.10 Ubuntu system.
  4. Enjoy! :)
