I will make it clearer in the top post, but it should be quite easy to spot looking at the shell's (data subdir) and yaru diffs: - Ubuntu's GNOME shell uses a Yaru theme based on upstream gnome-shell This theme basically takes the shell's data/ directory, applies some diffs and generates a gresource file out of it, that it's then loaded on startup (in place of the upstream one). - GNOME Shell applied some fixes to the theme (se its data/ directory diffs) - In order to get those fixes in Ubuntu main session we have to sync the upstream changes applied to such dir to yaru's src/gnome-shell path - You can easily compare the diffs applied there to match the ones happening in its upstream counterpart. ** Description changed: [ Impact ] That's the current GNOME stable update, including some fixes and translation updates https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/commits/3.36.6 Since the theme side of the project in ubuntu is shipped via Yaru theme, that project is included in the SRU. - The changes involving yaru here are ONLY gnome-shell upstream changes - applied to the Yaru sources, as per this we can consider them also part - of the GNOME release. + The changes involving yaru here are ONLY gnome-shell upstream changes applied to the Yaru sources, as per this we can consider them also part of the GNOME release. + In fact: + - Ubuntu's GNOME shell uses a Yaru theme based on upstream + gnome-shell This theme basically takes the shell's data/ directory, + applies some diffs and generates a gresource file out of it, that it's + then loaded on startup (in place of the upstream one). + - GNOME Shell applied some fixes to the theme (se its data/ + directory diffs) + - In order to get those fixes in Ubuntu main session we have to sync + the upstream changes applied to such dir to yaru's src/gnome-shell + path + - You can easily compare the diffs applied there to match the ones + happening in its upstream counterpart.
