Ricing Gnome is both easier and harder than what you see here.
Gnome is very limiting in terms of customization - compared to other DE / WM atleast. That means lesser people actually make cool projects / designs for GNOME, that limits your selection.
But then GNOME is actually quite straight forward when you find something. You can just google GTK4 themes and you should find something on https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135
Other than that you might start to browse all the extensions. There are many that will alter your layout, give you additional bar, widgets
Oh Im hoping to get rid of GNOME, I hate everything about it.
try out KDE :-)
Thanks I'll check it out. Are there applications to help customization, or do I need to use terminal??
You can do most of the customization in the default KDE settings. It's fairly easy.
if you go with a WM like awesome or i3 you're going to edit files. There's a bunch of people who upload their dotfiles on github. Here's a example from me https://github.com/Maniacsan/dotfiles
A lot of people upload their dotfiles when it comes to WMs. Just look up dotfiles on github or usually github dotfiles are posted on unixporn, here's mine for example: https://github.com/Maniacsan/dotfiles
So I can use this dotfiles with most WM's?
WMs have their own configuration. Dotfiles will probably show what the dotfiles are for
there are a few applications out there, don't know their names. Just google GTK4 theming. Look into youtube aswell.
Terminal is not needed here, no
Be more specific.
There are many options from Awesome and i3, through Sway or Wayfire, via XFCE or E17 all the way to KDE or Gnome.
What do you actually want?
