Themes in Zorin Apparence aren't visible as they are in GNOME Tweaks

[SAPien]

Hi everyone,

While searching for available themes, I came across a curious situation on my PC.

Images on the left:
Gnome Tweaks - download of the Zorin APT package, version 46.0:
All themes stored in /usr/share/themes are available in Icons, Shell, and Legacy Applications.

Top right:
Zorin Appearance:
Applications: Only Adwaita, Adwaita-dark, and HighContrast are selectable.
Icons: Only Adwaita and HighContrast are selectable.
The ~/.local/share/icons directory is empty

Bottom right:
Zorin 18 Pro is up to date. It was completely reinstalled in mid-December 2025 and updated to 18.1 in April 2026.
Fastfetch was just run.

I found this tip, but it didn’t help me at all:

Installing themes in zorin 18 Beta

In Zorin 17 I could download a new theme, extract it to usr/share/themes and enable it in zorin appearance or tweaks, I have tried this in zorin 18 Beta and it does not appear in tweaks or zorin appearance. Is this a bug in the Beta or have they removed the ability to add themes

Can someone please give me some tips on how to solve this problem?

Kind regards

The Zorin themes you can set in Zorin appearance at tab Zorin, because of this they are not listed at "others".
When you want to set just other icons, e.g., you select a theme at "Zorin" tab and then at "others" select an icon theme from the list. With gnome tweaks, you are a bit more flexible to mix different styles.

@Forpli, thanks, now I get it. I was trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
