Ubuntu 22.04 - Firefox and some other apps broken after changing folder colour in settings

Open malcolmturnbull opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Per above, I had Dracula working on a non-snap install of Firefox, so that the close / minimise / maximise icons were consistent with the theme. image

I stupidly tried to select a folder colour using System Settings - Appearance after having no luck using Folder-Color with Nautilus. This changed my theme back to the system default, and changed Firefox's theme at the time.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, ensured it is not a Snap installation, installed using the binary from their website, and have had no joy getting the app to recognise Dracula as the GTK Theme.

Any hints or recommendations would be very much welcome!

I was able to achieve a partial fix by:

  1. Reapplying the theme using gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Dracula-shell-pink-accent-v40
  2. Using sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=Dracula-pink-accent-slim to apply selected theme to Flatpaks.
  3. In GNOME Tweaks, my Shell is selected as Dracula-shell-pink-accent-v40 & Legacy as Dracula-pink-accent-slim

This seems to have applied the application to the Flatpak version of Firefox but not the Deb installation or a deb installation of Librewolf, which looks like this: image

The other area that seems to have forgotten any theming are Extension settings - Snap Apps had never worked but Caffeine, for e.g., looks like this when it previously showed a dark theme: image

For Gnome Extensions & Associated Prompts, I used the build referred to in #200 by pulling and running make. Simple!

This did not fix:

  • Ubuntu Software
  • Librewolf Deb
  • Firefox Deb

Hi, I've tested the theme in a clean installation of ubuntu 22.04 and it looks good for non-snap applications (compared below):

Are you sure that you completely remove the snap version of those applications?
