Dark color scheme not supported if Adwaita:dark is set

[ekaitz-zarraga]

Hi, I'm getting this error using dino. Other apps are using the dark theme with no issues.

(dino:3328): Adwaita-WARNING **: 18:07:05.799: Using GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme with libadwaita is unsupported. Please use AdwStyleManager:color-scheme instead.

If I export GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark and then run dino it does use the dark color scheme.

@licaon-kter thanks for the answer but that doesn't work. That's why I'm opening the issue here :smile:

Right, so the last solution is to set GTK_THEME as you said.

Which Dino version?

Which OS?

Which WM/DE?

[ekaitz-zarraga]

• Dino 0.4.2
• Guix System (Linux)
• WM/DE: tested in:
  • i3 window manager
  • GNOME

I'm not sure if this might somehow be related to Steam Deck not being able to Dark-theme Dino in gamescope mode. Desktop mode is fine. Flatpak.

Since a couple of days dino have stopped respecting the setting gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark' for me. I'm running version 0.4.3 - Ilulissat on arch with sway as my window manager.

Here is the exact pacman information:

Something changed again, new fix is to export GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark

Same here. Arch with sway as wm and dino doesn't respect gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'. Every other app I'm using does respect it.

Running GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark dino does run dino in dark mode. Nice workaround, but would be good to have dino just respect the org.gnome.desktop.interface settings.

@ismay it's not Dino that is not respecting it, but GTK

@ismay it's not Dino that is not respecting it, but GTK

I see. None of my other GTK apps have this problem though. Are you sure it's not something on Dino's end?

Same. (Edit: I'm on KDE, I use Dino as a poor man's alternative to another XMPP client while testing video-chat and such.)
