Some GTK themes do not support dark mode

[PeterRodr]

Dark Mode doesn't appear on ubuntu 18.04. (the ChecKBox is selected).

@PeterRodr

You mean you can toggle it, but toggling has no effect on how it the theme looks?

Yes. I select the dark mode CheckBox but it remains Light

Linux distributions come with different themes, and some themes don't support dark mode. The user can switch his desktop to a theme that does. BleachBit could be more user-friendly by giving the user a friendly message to explain this.
