[SOLVED] Flatpak theming issues (GIMP)

I'm now moving to flatpak for the bigger apps, and everything works actually very great, except for gtk themes.
AFAIK, it should just work when I install one of the theme runtimes under org.gtk.Gtk3theme? (eg. org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Adapta-Nokto-Eta)

I tried installing org.gnome.Sdk as it was the runtime specified in the org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Adapta-Nokto-Eta manifest file. That didn't help at all.
I also tried tweaking the gtk3 settings.ini in ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/gtk-3.0 but it seems that is pointless.

Is this because I'm on XFCE and the xsettings daemon I'm running is the XFCE one (xfsettingsd)?
Should I be running the daemon from gnome-settings-daemon (gsd-xsettings)?

I mean they should both work right? They are both just xsettings daemons.

This is what I now have installed:

Please ask the creator of the flatpak.

Re: [SOLVED] Flatpak theming issues (GIMP)

Notice that theme  is for 3.22 runtime, which means that apps that use later version won't see it, It annoys me that whoever maintains themes on Flathub just can't keep them up to date (make them available for all currently used runtimes).

Dirty fix is to copy the theme folder that's in /var/lib/flatpak/(your.theme) for 3.22 to 3.26 or whichever is the version that app that you want to use needs.

Re: [SOLVED] Flatpak theming issues (GIMP)

It seems this only affects gimp and not other gtk apps. I thought first that all apps are affected.
Theres something wrong with either gimp or the flatpak of it, as the runtimes for gimp and for apps that work (eog, evince) are the same:

Runtime: org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.28
Sdk: org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64/3.28

Re: [SOLVED] Flatpak theming issues (GIMP)

Which version of GIMP? Unless you are using some dev release, GIMP is still GTK2 based.

Well this is embarrassing... I remembered GIMP got updated to GTK3 during 2.10 update.
It seems this will only be fixed when GIMP switches to GTK3, as I don't think anyone is going to bring gtk2 theme support to flatpak.
