Hi, @salperinlea, The variant for Gnome 42 is not recognized by Tweaks, the Gnome 42 file must be placed in the following path: '.config/gtk-4.0/' with the name 'gtk.css', this makes it automatically recognized for gtk4/libadwaita applications; the normal versions, not Gnome 42, must be placed in the path: '. themes', those are recognized by Tweaks, and these are for gtk3 applications, that is to say, you must download both versions and place them in the paths I already mentioned so that they work with both applications: gtk3, gtk4/libadwaita and the theme is uniform.

Thanks for reporting, this makes me think that I should update the description to make it a bit clearer about the use of each version. };-]

I did what you said but all of my windows are still the gnome colors. the gtk.css thing does nothing at all
