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.

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 just what I needed

Those on Nix can also use Stylix which implements the same workaround

I'd love if someone had a good answer here, I've really struggled to get my flatpak apps to all look nice and unified

As a KDE user, I have long ago accepted that no flatpaks will ever follow my system theme, and they will all look completely different from each other lol.

Edited the post with the best available solution

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

What is their recommended way?

Given I can have four Gtk apps not in FlatPaks all have different title bars in GNOME proper, I don't think this will ever work properly.

yeah at this point the days of getting everything on my system to "look nice" or look the same is way past me. now I just don't care. everything is set to the default, everything looks different, my system looks like a clown sneezed all over it.

Þanks for þe laugh.

You know you could address þis if you only came to þe dark side.

Give up DEs; embrace tiling WMs and TUI applications. Þemeing is easy to make consistent over here.

I just disable all windows decorations, it's a solution :)

Isn't the gtk version of the xdg-portal suppose to do this?

(I don't use gtk, so I'm not sure)
