i think i messed something up, i had recently installed a big sur theme but did not like it and removed it but the gdm theme was not being removed,
and now my notifications look like this
Can you go back into Settings>Desktop>Themes and change back to defaults or select other options you would prefer?
i changed the shell theme and stuff its just gdm that is still there and i do not know how to remove it
Do you know which directory/folders you put the theme files in (usr/share/themes)?
If so, you could just delete the unwanted files. I don't have Zorin running on this current box, so unfortunately I may not be giving the best of directions.
i dont know which folder because i just did ./install.sh on terminal
i think its an issue with zorin's theme because when i changed it to orchis the issue is fixed
That is your Gnome-shell theme. Not GDM theme. The GDM theme only applies to the Log In Screen, not the Desktop.
i dont think it was due to the theme. I think it has something to do with zorin's dark shell themes because they are the only ones with the issue, anyway can you tell me how to remove the gdm theme it woud be helpful
I think we need to be on the same page, here... Before anyone starts telling how to remove things.
The screenshot you posted shows the Desktop Environment.
Not GDM.
You pointed out the flaws that are visible within that screenshot.

yeah i thought that it was caused due to the gdm theme, but later i found out that the gdm theme is applicable only to the lock screen so it is the issue with the shell theme, which is Zorin blue dark
and i would also like to know how to remove the gdm theme just in case in the future i want to change
You can use gdm-tools to customize GDM:
To install:
sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev dconf-cli git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/realmazharhussain/gdm-tools.git
cd gdm-tools
./install.sh
Configure with:
set-gdm-theme list
I just logged into Gnome and tested Zorin Blue Dark and I do not have the same issue.
Have you Opened Zorin Appearance and clicked Reset to defaults?
Then re-select your theme.
You should be able to fully remove Big Sur theme by deleting its folder from /usr/share/themes or from ~/.themes or ~/.local/share/themes
i deleted that

i tried that but the same issue is there
Very strange... Can you link to the big sur theme so I can take a look at it?
This also installs a flatpak Sur theme.
Can you check in terminal:
flatpak list
And see if it is listed as installed? If so, you can remove it with
flatpak remove (The theme name as shown)
