Can't set gtk theme in settings

I am unable to apply any themes for gtk applications. The new themes i install donot show up in the list, the ones that were already there don't get applied even if they are selected. Only a default advaita theme is present in all gtk and gnome apps even though it is not present in my list of installed themes. I am on garuda kde. Please provide further guidance.

Two things:

  • Many/most gtk4 applications now use libadwaita and those applications will always use adwaita.
  • Are you setting your gtk theme in system settings->application style->configure gnome/gtk application style?

Please provide your garuda-inxi. :slight_smile:

As always, after updates, restart your PC.
