Dear Maintainer,

Please update yaru-theme to 25.04.1. The current yaru-theme-gnome-shell is
incompatible with the latest gnome-shell.

https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/tags

Best,
Amr

The upcoming Debian 13 comes with GNOME48, but yaru-theme version is still 24.04.
https://salsa.debian.org/desktop-themes-team/yaru-theme

This leads to a lot of incompatible besides gnome-shell<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1100949>, such as the icons cannot be completely covered because GNOME has made changes to the icons (like 'Wellbeing' in Settings), the window controls padding and margins is different with libadwaita.

So, hope updates follow upstream 25.04 to adapting GNOME 48, so that will not have display problems when Debian 13 became Stable.

Hi,

I have been holding back yaru-theme updates in Debian, because I am
not too involved in GNOME development and Yaru compatibility. I
originally intended to use it with MATE desktop.

@Jeremy: What do you think about this? You are the better expert here.

Mike

After several days, Jeremy still didn't respond. Let' s consider for
ourselves.

Ubuntu provides binary packages. After I installed and tested,
gnome-shell, icon, sound, unity are all fine, no incompatibility. The
only problem is gtk. The gtk binary package
<https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/yaru-theme-gtk> on Ubuntu contains a
dependency that Debian does not have: session-migration
<https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/session-migration>, but it is not
written on Github
<https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/blob/master/debian/control#L31>. I
deleted it and repacked package, there is no problem after testing.

In summary, I think we don't need to worry about compatibility.

Directly following the upstream updates, anything would be better than
now. 😇

Hello,

I would like to confirm that I’m experiencing the same issues on Debian 13 LTS (Trixie) with GNOME 48.
The current version of yaru-theme-gnome-shell in the Debian repositories appears to be incompatible with the updated GNOME Shell and libadwaita changes.

Visual inconsistencies appear in multiple places, including the top panel, window button layout, and some Control Center (Settings) sections.

Updating the package to Yaru 25.04.1 or a more recent upstream version should resolve the incompatibility.
When manually testing newer upstream builds, these issues do not appear.

Thank you for your work, and I hope this information helps prioritize the update.

Best regards,
Avi

My name is *Ahmad*, and I would like to add a critical note regarding this
issue.

I am running *Debian 13 LTS (Trixie)* with *GNOME 48*, and the
yaru-theme-gnome-shell package currently available in the Debian
repositories is *completely incompatible* with the current GNOME Shell and
libadwaita changes.
This results in broken UI elements across the system.

I tested the *latest upstream Yaru version (25.04.1 and newer)* by
compiling it directly from GitHub, and it *works perfectly* — no visual
issues at all.
This proves that the fix already exists upstream and requires only a small
packaging update on Debian’s side.

It is unreasonable for an *LTS release* to ship a theme package that
visibly breaks core GNOME UI behavior when the upstream fix is trivial and
already available.
This is not a major rewrite — it is a small, standard version bump that
would immediately resolve the problem for all users on Trixie and Sid.

I strongly urge the maintainers to update the package as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Ahmad
