My gnome is all messed up. The theme is all over the place. Some windows are transparent and dark, for example settings and files. Others just have different themes, like dconf-editor and extension manager.
I feel like I have tried everything. Even a dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ to get back to defaults. But nothing seems to do the trick.

Thinking maybe someone on here will be able to help me? :)

As an aside, and not to get into the whole snap/flatpack whatever deal. My snap-apps have wrong cursor theme, and this seems to be a thing I am supposed to live with or something? Is there a solution to this? :)

Update:

Ah ok. I have finally figured this out myself. It seems that some of these applications are GTK4 apps. Theme settings for these apps are simply a css file in a folder, and not related to any other settings in gnome. Thats pretty silly if you ask me… ~./config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css

Oh wow, I didn't know snaps don't follow system theme. The more you know 🌈 ⭐

If you are using defaults in gnome it's fine, but custom themes don't work.

Flatpaks definitely do follow the system theme by default. I’m running Silverblue, so all my apps are Flatpaks.

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.
