Hey, everyone! I’m what you might call an “intermediate user” I guess, and I usually manage to track down problem on my own, but here goes…

I’m using the Fedora Workstation 39 Beta 1.1, Just installed it and am up and running, Everything is working well, but I have a weird issue in that most (but not all) GTK4 apps are ignoring my Dark Style settings. Nautilus is light, for instance, but Console is not. The Wallpaper follows the light/dark setting, and once I tweaked it, so do the GTK3 apps.

I’m not sure how to provide more info. I have tried gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1 in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini which seems to do nothing, I can’t find a dbus entry, and I haven’t really installed much, other than the adw-gtk3 theme, Gnome Console, and some flatpaks.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Turns out this may be a known error: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/dark-mode-broke-after-last-update-on-fedora-39/89965

      I use the Night Theme Switcher app to automatically control the light/dark mode . Might also work for you.

      Also, it’s generally advisable to use the adw-gtk3 theme rather than Adwaita if you want GTK3 and GTK4 apps to look consistent.
