Description of problem: The GNOME 42 Evolution mail application does not honor Dark Style under Fedora 36 beta Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the "Settings" application 2. In the left column click on "Appearance" 3. Select the "Dark" Style Actual results: "Bright lights!" Expected results: A GNOME 42 Evolution mail application in Dark Style mode and not the bright one currently there! Additional info:
Thanks for a bug report. The GNOME "dark style" is a very new thing and it doesn't seem to be compatible with the gtk3 applications, which the Evolution is (I believe the dark style works only for the gtk4 applications). If you want the gtk3 applications to be in the dark theme, use the dark gtk3 theme as well. You can do that when you install gnome-tweaks, then in the Appearance->Legacy Applications switch the theme to Adwaita-dark. Why the gtk3 is called Legacy I do not know. You might possibly ask the Settings maintainers to make this gtk3 theme change, at least for well known themes, but I guess they had a (good) reason to not do it immediately.
Many thanks for your response on the bug report, the Legacy Applications switch inside GNOME Tweaks is one easily overlooked! What is protocol here, this being my first bug report here, do we close it and leave it here for posterity purposes, then for now I can work around the gtk3 limitation with the tip you mentioned!
Correct, I already closed this, you do not need to do anything :) Anybody can still reach this bug and see the way to make this work, if needed (supposing they use the right search terms).
It turned out I've been wrong. The upstream bug [1] contains references to resources how to do it. Not that I like it, but it's the way it had been made. This is goign to be fixed with 3.44.2+. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1898
