Iridescence — First Release

Aero-inspired, accent-tinted glass for GNOME Shell and GTK4.

This first release combines a shared tint with translucent surfaces, subtle outlines and shadows for a consistent desktop appearance.

Features

  • Accent tint shared across GNOME Shell and GTK4, with three intensity levels.
  • Optional transparency and light Shell styling in light mode.
  • Blur My Shell integration with a desktop preset and live Overview color updates.
  • Optional theme access for Flatpak applications.

Before enabling Blur My Shell integration

Install Blur My Shell separately.

Enabling the integration replaces its appearance settings and pipeline assignments with the Iridescence preset. You can customize them afterward in Blur My Shell; Overview colors continue syncing while integration is enabled.

Disabling integration restores previous values where they haven’t subsequently been edited.

Compatibility and notes

  • Declared support for GNOME Shell 49, 50 and 51.
  • GTK4 appearance can vary between applications, particularly those with custom styling.
  • Some apps may need reopening after applying appearance changes.
  • Known issue: Nautilus’s file-conflict dialog can remain translucent. A targeted fix is still being investigated.
  • Iridescence preserves GNOME’s native lock-screen blur when using its Blur My Shell preset.

Installation

Download iridescence@pakovm.zip and install it with:

gnome-extensions install --force iridescence@pakovm.zip

Log out and back in if GNOME doesn’t load the extension immediately, then enable Iridescence and open its preferences.
