What Solstice does

One studio, not five utilities.

Everything you need to shape your GNOME desktop — in one coherent interface.

🎨
Shape
Themes, fonts, icons, cursor and wallpapers. Light, dark or automatic based on the sun's position.
⚡
Automate
Solar day phases via exact systemd scheduling. Your desktop adapts without you thinking about it.
🛠
Refine
Panel, dock, windows and overview. Built-in support for Just Perfection, Blur My Shell, Dash2Dock, Tiling Shell and ArcMenu.
🔒
Recover
Snapshots, diff preview and rollback. Change anything — you can always go back.

The problem Solstice solves

One studio instead of scattered tools.

GNOME customization is currently scattered across multiple apps, scripts and manual GSettings commands.
