Closing as wontfix, we don't intend to provide old versions on the shell theme on newer series, you can keep using the bionic serie if you prefer though.

I am reporting this as a bug because it _is_ possible to change the application and icon theme back to what they were in 18.04. It should be possible to make Ubuntu 18.10 look the same as Ubuntu 18.04 as some users (including myself) prefer the old theme to the new one. I prefer it because the new theme is too flat, but that is beside the point. Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 18.10 gnome-tweaks version: 3.30.1-1 I expected to be able to open Tweaks and change the shell theme, but there is only one available, called "Default".
