That's certainly not enough information.

#

idk what else to say

#

im using standard themes

#

and shit isnt working

sacred cave
#

"standard themes" isn't enough. What theme specifically, what version of things, are you trying to apply a GTK theme or a Qt theme, etc etc etc.

#

how do i find what version of gtk im using

#

actually

#

google

#

time

#

GTK is a UI toolkit. It isn't the only one out there. Some applications may use Qt, some may use none at all.

#

There are different types of themes, some of them work with GTK some of them work with Qt some of them bundle both.

chrome://settings/appearance also has a toggle for using the provided GTK theme or not for example. It may be that that's just not set

cursive folio
#

i tried

#

and it looks

#

fucked

#

it doesnt look right

#

see the taskbar has dark mode

#

but not the content itself

sacred cave
#

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

cursive folio
#

and yes ive tried all modes

#

i just moved from windows

#

i miss the gray google chrome

#

and yes ive tried it without gtk

#

still looks bad

#

gtk only affects the task bar

sacred cave
#

My assumption is that your theme is being detected as light mode by the browser even if it is dark. I'm not sure how that detection is done. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
