Like I said in the title, I switched to Mint 22 from 21.3 and I noticed that certain applications dont actually adopt the themes I installed anymore? Like the screenshot tool or disks tool(its just the one that comes preinstalled) was able to get themed using OneStepBack when I was using 21, but its stuck on the default themes on 22? I upgraded before getting pictures to compare because I didnt think this was going to happen sorry

if this is how mint 22 is like, i would rather downgrading back to 21 honestly

I am not sure if it's just a newer version of disks that doesn't allow themeing, but if you made a timeshift snapshot, just rollback to before the upgrade. done.

I'll check later but I assumed my time shift snapshots would've been wiped from the upgrade
either way it's odd that newer versions of the applications don't allow theming anymore if that's true

Not Mint's fault, rather GTK's, which usually falls onto GNOME developers' hands.

If apps are using newer GTK verions there is a chance your themes won't apply to them, or there have been changes which are out of the scope of your theme.
The theme I use for example doesn't get applied to the workspace switcher for 22.1

In Ubuntu 24.04, a number of GNOME applications moved to libAdwaita and stopped supporting the system theme.

oh! I wonder why gtk would do that
glad to know it's not mints fault or something I messed up! I should switch back to 21.3 though

no need
just try seeing if your theme has something updated for those newer versions or find one that is very close
you can also try directly editing your theme's original code altho that would require a bit of work
also the longer you drag on updating older versions the more problems can appear from updating too quickly between versions

ahhh I see
quaint ridge
Wait, @acoustic coral check this out...
Is that how it's supposed to look like? Idk about the windows... I'm on Plasma.

hmm.. the gtk theme I mainly use hasn't been updated in 8 months but that may be soon enough for an update OH MY GOODNESS
uhhh Its not supposed to look like that
quaint ridge
Yeah, thought so.
Anyways, expect the state of application theming to go worse, if you continue to use GNOME apps.
Not that many GTK4 themes are built to take account for libAdwaita.
There are only two that comes in mind for me: Yaru and libAdapta.

That black is too dark.
acoustic coral
yes my theme
quaint ridge
But yeah, it's supposed to be themed... I wonder what went wrong?
Maybe some configs? Do we have to check dconf-editor?
acoustic coral
theme could be simply very old or not made for newer versions
quaint ridge
Can't say myself... I'm on Plasma. Been happy with Breeze so much, I kept it here.

when I can I'll download the updated version of the theme to see if it takes libadwaita in account
if not... I'll have to find a new retro looking theme to use instead

I believe we're not the ones you'd ask for that.
