From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome theme all over the place, please help (feddit.dk)

My gnome is all messed up. The theme is all over the place. Some windows are transparent and dark, for example settings and files. Others just have different themes, like dconf-editor and extension manager.
I feel like I have tried everything. Even a dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ to get back to defaults. But nothing seems to do the trick.

Thinking maybe someone on here will be able to help me? :)

As an aside, and not to get into the whole snap/flatpack whatever deal. My snap-apps have wrong cursor theme, and this seems to be a thing I am supposed to live with or something? Is there a solution to this? :)

Update:

Ah ok. I have finally figured this out myself. It seems that some of these applications are GTK4 apps. Theme settings for these apps are simply a css file in a folder, and not related to any other settings in gnome. Thats pretty silly if you ask me… ~./config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css

I tried resetting it all. No extensions or anything.

Can you list some more specifics then? Distro, what the theme should be, which applications are not respecting theme and how, are they GTK 3 or GTK 4, how are they installed (package manager, flatpak, snap, etc)?

I have figured it out :) It was because they were GTK 4, and for some reason they had a css file in my config dir

Excellent! You should update your original post with the solution, if you haven't.
