Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?

      How to change my GTK4 theme. I was using nwg-look but it is not working for Console and Blackbox

        Ah, that’s because GTK4 and libadwaita severely restricted custom theming. They may be ways around this but I have no idea because I use just adw-gtk3 as my theme so all my apps look uniform on Gnome.

        So I guess you’ll either search for a way to hack this or just stick to GTK3 apps if you don’t want the stock GTK4 look.

        It’s not nearly as supported. There are workarounds where you can create a ~/.gtk4 directory and modify CSS yourself, or you can use a program like Gradience to modify the color scheme in an accessible way. Gradience also has community color palettes so if you’re using a popular theme it could just be a matter of loading the preset

        I think you can’t change gtk4 theme with gui but you can change it in text editor gtk4 config file is in .config/gtk4.0/

    sakura terminal emulator for me 'cause I can edit color sets in its .config file and then switch between them under the right-click menus.

    I use Alacritty on Gnome just because it has better window decorations than Kitty.

      I use it, but on wayfire, because I like it more than kitty, though I have to use alacritty with screen, since it doesn’t support tabs, which is the only thing I wish alacritty would add, but I can deal with screen OK. What do you mean with window decorations? They look pretty normal to me, like the ones on electron apps now a days…

        Gnome refuses to implement Server Side Decorations on Wayland (because… reasons) so applications are forced to draw their own. Kitty’s decorations are very bare bones and ugly. Alacritty’s decorations match much better with the rest of Gnome.

          I see. And I do like CSD over SSD, :)

          The alacritty decorations are just plain simple GTK bar, so you’ll see the simple regular GTK bar for applications not embedding CSDs withing the apps same one on electron apps (signal-desktop, slack-electron, and so on) get. In the case of a terminal emulator that’s understandable, it needs the space… I was trying to paste a snapshot, or attach a simple image here, but didn’t find how to, and I won’t do any sort of patebin right now. So I don’t consider that simple bar, nice decorations, but they do what they’re meant to, so that’s fine for me. I guess it look better on gnome though. I use wayfire + waybar + …, and GTK apps work pretty well there, and I have installed and currently use materia dark theme, and the look is good in general for me. As I don’t like kitty, I really don’t remember how worse it is in comparison, but I still consider alacritty bar not so impressive, hehe.

    As other people have commented: why would GTK be so important? A terminal should be a bare window, without any decoration. At least that’s what I use: first setting I check in a terminal is “disable window title” or something like that.

    Guys, TO wants a terminal with dark/light support for the terminal part or switching color scheme with a command.

    I guess the simplest for now would be to use tput in your .bahrc/zshrc?

    Your gtk theme wouldn’t change your terminal colours with the precision that just manually changing the colours would. Terminals only have 8 colour settings you need to set, it’s not exactly a crazy undertaking to change your terminal theme separate to your gtk theme

    The theme is such a small part of what a terminal can do. I would choose a terminal based on features and confirm it has a theme/colorscheme available that matches your preferences.
