Open Bar helps you customize the appearance of system panels in GNOME

Open Bar for GNOME on Linux lets you tweak panels, menus, the dock, and themes, making the system easier to use and improving its look.

Configuring the appearance and layout of your operating system’s work items not only makes the interface cleaner but also streamlines your workflow.

With GNOME, you can adjust the look of the top panel, dock, menus, and other system elements using the Open Bar utility.

It offers a wide range of settings that let you change not just the design but also the placement of components.

  • Auto Theming: Set up automatic theme switching based on the color palette of your desktop wallpaper, with separate options for light and dark themes.
  • Bar: Adjust the top panel’s height, padding, color, and many other visual aspects, and move it to any desired part of the screen.
  • Popup Menus: Change the color scheme of drop‑down menus system‑wide.
  • Dash/Dock: Control the color scheme of the dash or dock.

By fine‑tuning these options, Open Bar helps create a cohesive, personalized GNOME experience.
