[SOLVED]GTK Kwin File Fialog Issue

When I try to open file dialog(i think this is gtk3 file dialog) in discord it doesn't have any font(screenshot).
And when I try to open file dialog in VS Code(i think gtk2 file dialog), the whole app crashes.
But when Firefox opens file dialog it works perfectly fine.

What I tried:
Tried changing font and some other settings in ./config/gtk3.0/settings.ini and changing the themes.
Also tried downgrading Pango package (for someone it fixed the bug saying that is was the new version and downgrading would help,
but the version that worked in that case is not archived anymore).

After all that I still had no results!

What I have:
-Plasma 5
-Xorg
-The font(Noto Sans) used in the config file

Any help or new direction would be much appreciated, thanks.

Solution:
Download the apps from official repository!

gtk doesn't necessarily use the font you configured in KDE, do you have and use https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … tk-config/
Are discord/vscode some flatpak/snap/randomothercontainerformat packages?

I have and use the gtk-config(that's what I meant by changing the theme).  And they are both snap packages.

I'd assume you'd have neither issue if you didn't use snap packages. But for what it's worth a prerequisite for most of these container shenanigans to have theme integration with the host system are the xdg-desktop-portal{-kde,-gtk} packages, do you have these?

I did have the kde one, and installed the other ones as well, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Did you restart the snap daemon?

Re: [SOLVED]GTK Kwin File Fialog Issue

I wasn't aware that VScode and Discord are available on official repos. Downloaded form pacman and everything worked as it should. Thanks for your help. <3
