[SOLVED] GTK doesnt work as user, but does as root (assumption)

Hi all

My Problem is that various programms (FileZilla, LibreOffice, ...) look really weird if i run them as user:

But if I run them as root, it works as expected:

I assume it has something to do with file permissions, but I dont really know what to google.

I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction at least.

This depends on your gtk settings and this pretty much looks like expected if you/your GTK theme has dark mode enabled.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK#Configuration and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK#Dark_theme_variant
