[SOLVED] gtk4 dark theme

quellen · 2024-04-26 19:49:20

hi, I can't find a dark gtk4 theme, do you know any?
I need it because file-roller in the latest versions uses gtk4 and the graphic interface has become white and I don't like it.

I downloaded several from gnome-look but file-roller is always white with all of them.

I tried "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark" but file-roller is still white.

$ pactree -r xdg-desktop-portal
xdg-desktop-portal
└─libportal
  ├─file-roller
  ├─libportal-gtk3
  └─libportal-gtk4
    └─file-roller

I tried installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome but it didn't solve it

What desktop environment/windowmanager do you use?
Are you currently using Adwaita resp. Adwaita-dark?

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme

Does

GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark file-roller

work?

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
'Adwaita'

Does

GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark file-roller

work?

it works! thanks ୧(´⚆‿⚆`)୨

(i dont use DE, only openbox)

EDIT:
if I set "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark" and start file-roller it has the white theme, why? (i also tried "Adwaita:dark")

why

"gnome"…

Note: If not using the according XDG Desktop Portal, you might have to set the environment variable ADW_DISABLE_PORTAL=1 for theme set via GSettings to be picked up. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwai … 63f81011ef
