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.

What can we do to make flatpaks follow the GTK theme? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi guys, basically as the title says. Did any of you guys tried any of the solutions around for this? What is the best fix for this in your opinion?

Edit: Found it! the best way is to install your GTK theme as a flatpak so it is either that your theme is available in Flathub which is rarely the case or running this to automate this process for you

Thanks! ☺️

Weirdly I think my preferred theme used to not advise doing it that way, but it seems they have updated their recommendations so now I have two new approaches to try

I think if I remember right it was to use portals to grant file access to the themes folder and then set flags or variables or something to force using the theme you wanted

If you're interested in experimenting with that route I believe I also saw details for that method in various online tutorials for theming flatpacks
