The themes app does not apply its themes to gtk3/4 flatpak apps like flatseal, newsflash, I tried gradience but it didn't seem to work any other solutions or will I have to witness my eyes die to this theme abomination. Thanks!

#

well I will go to sleep so a good protocol probably will be to just drop system info

#

so please suggest solutions

#

I have tried overriding themes using flatseal and GTK_THEME= var didn't work most likely outdated FOSS article

#

I have tried gradience to override theme there is this weird bug that whenever I enable flatpak option in the UI it is enabled and disabled at same time when I reopen it

#

2 sec

#

nah didn't fix it

#

#

#

some progress was made

#

on dconf editor gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark command works, BUT it actually borks half the system theme

#

it basically makes screenshot tool etc go adwaita and other apps adhering to mint theme

#

any way to actually override this completely me_thinks

#

like why are gnome apps and mint apps so indifferent to each other on theming lol

#

I thought they had some protocol or something

#

OH GOD idk what black magic I played with but I copied theme folder from usr to .themes and it seemed to have worked

#

and then I overrided the theme

#

using flatseal

#

issues solved how to fix mint flatpak gtk 3 or gtk4 apps theme-ing

  1. Try flatpak theme default detect
  2. mkdir -p ~/.themes cp -r /usr/share/themes/Mint-Y-Dark-Blue ~/.themes/Mint-Y-Dark-Blue sudo flatpak override --filesystem=$HOME/.themes
