How to remove ghostty's gnome aesthetic on Linux

Posted: 2024-12-28

Ghostty by default looks like a gnome app even outside of gnome, with a hamburger menu and complete disregard for the system theme.

Put the values below in the config file, which for me was in .config/ghostty/config ; and then close every ghostty window and restart the application for the changes to take effect.

  window-theme = system
  gtk-titlebar = false
  gtk-wide-tabs = false
  gtk-adwaita = false
