Elementary Tweaks is an essential application that Elementary OS users must have. I have no idea why the developer does not include this great tool in their distribution. Without Elementary Tweaks, it is difficult and almost impossible for a newbie to change the theme and icon theme on Elementary OS. Before we go through the installation, let’s have a look the new version of Elementary Tweaks.
With this tool, you can change the GTK theme, Icons, Cursors, font, and some other settings. Without Elementary Tweaks, you will not have access to these settings. Go to the Animations tab and you will find some settings to tweak the animations.
