Description Joshua 2022-04-09 13:49:11 UTC
Created attachment 1871589 [details]
As you can see I have the theme set to dark and virt-manager is not in dark mode.

Description of problem:
When switching Gnome to dark mode not all apps follow the dark theme. Examples are Vivaldi and virt-manager they are both still in the light theme.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gnome 42

How reproducible:
This happens every time I try to switch to dark mode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install vivaldi or virt-manager
2.change theme to dark mode
3.nothing changes for those 2 applications

Actual results:
Applications stay in light theme instead of switching to dark mode.

Expected results:
Applications switch to a dark theme

Additional info:
This use to work fine when using gnome tweaks and changing the theme to dark. I now cannot even use that to force the dark theme because there is no longer a dark theme option inside of gnome tweaks.

It would be nice if the gnome-control-center changes also the gtk3 theme, at least for those known. Otherwise this new thing in GNOME 42 works only for gtk4 applications and users are forced to install gnome-tweaks and change the "legacy" theme to "Adwaita-dark" to have majority of the applications (those in "legacy" gtk3) in the dark theme. I foresee a lot of bug reports like this one. An early example: bug #2074945.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
