Hello all,
I have installed fedora kinoite and everything is working as expected, except theming.
I know this is a limitation due to sandboxing and that there is a way around it.
Now, all guides are either only for Gnome theming or 2-4 years old.
Is there a simplified way on how to make applications like Firefox and libreoffice use the standard breeze dark KDE theme?
For whatever reason org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark was deprecated
The workaround listed here: https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze
Is to run: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro
However, that exposes a little extra if you have favorite places stored
I think it works if you only expose xdg-config/gtk-3.0/colors.css, xdg-config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, and xdg-config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
Yes, apps use the default Breeze or Adwaita theme.
The issue are the apps you mentioned, Firefox and Libreoffice.
Libreoffice has its own GUI toolkit and simply doesnt follow the system. Sucks a bit.
Firefox can sync between light and dark mode, but I think only if you use default theming. I made a Breeze Dark Firefox theme but already made a better one I just need to upload.
For Firefox 125+, you can at least make it use your configured window control buttons with any theme addon by setting the about:config option
widget.gtk.non-native-titlebar-buttons.enabled=false.Cool! I always found the switching buttons strange
Your theme looks great! I’d definitely love to hear when the new one comes out!
I already made it with Firefox Color, but didnt yet upload it.
I even experimented with some Plasma Backgrounds but they are a bit distracting.
I like the Galaxy one and the “4am in the morning” one though.
Will upload them in a sec
I believe you just make sure the packages
xdg-desktop-portal,xdg-desktop-portal-kde, andxdg-desktop-portal-gtkare installed. Applications using qt5/6 or gtk3/4 should automatically pick up the new themes.Additionally, add the following files via flatseal or
flatpak override --globalxdg-config/gtk-4.0xdg-config/gtk-3.0xdg-run/gvfsd~/.themes~/.icons
Unfortunately flatpak search or install cannot find these.
They’re not on flatpak. They would be done via
rpm-ostree installI see, thank you. I do not think I will use that option just for theming though xD
It might already be installed.
They are installed.
We are working on better documentation on Atomic Desktops.
rpm -qa | grep APPNAMEIs a good way to find installed RPMs.
Try flatseal. I don’t use flatpaks, but I heard flatseal allows theming.
Flatseal is a gui for Flatpaks overrides configuration.
Flatseal is not needed.
