GTK apps are using the default black cursor and gtk theme instead of what I specify in plasma. tried flowing these instrucitons to no avail

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#GTK_themes_not_working

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Plasma_cursor_sometimes_shown_incorrectly

Let’s back track a little. If you specify the Garuda default of Sweet-Dark as GTK theme, do GTK apps use it?

EDIT: Second question, what behavior differences do you see between Wayland and X11?

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:16pm

No even though I have the default sweet-dark set as my GTK theme in System Settings -> Apperance -> Application Style - > GTK application Style It does not use that theme in GTK apps

It also does not use the cursor theme I specify in the System Settings -> Apperance -> Cursors

On X11 this does work as expected

EDIT:
non GTK apps use sweet dark and my selected cursor theme (material light) as expected

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:18pm

Quite weird. Are ALL GTK apps having this issue?

What is the output of cat ~/.gtkrc-2.0

Thirdly, name me an app that does not work, I have a command to ask you to perform using that app for testing.

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:20pm

cat ~/.gtkrc-2.0
File: /home/zany130/.gtkrc-2.0
gtk-theme-name="Sweet-Dark"
gtk-enable-animations=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=1
gtk-toolbar-style=3
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-size=32
gtk-cursor-theme-name="material_light_cursors"
gtk-icon-theme-name="BeautyLine"
gtk-font-name="Fira Sans,  10"

It seems it is affecting all GTK apps, at least all those I have tried (lutris, steamtinkerlaunch, input-remapper)

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:23pm

Are you sure you changed the theme here?

Either way, you could manually edit the file and replace Sweet-Dark with the EXACT name of your GTK Theme.
I don’t think you need to relogin but plz do so just in case.

Other thing you can try is open up your favorite Terminal window and hit this:

GTK_THEME=emacs input-remapper

Did it change the theme?

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:29pm

is what I have

Strangely setting GTK_THEME=Sweet-Dark input-remapper-gtk does make it use the Sweet-Dark theme like I want it to

same for lutris

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:30pm

Ok let's back track again. loll Which GTK Theme you want to use? Sweet-Dark?
Cuz you mentioned it was reverting to the default theme, in Garuda the default is Sweet-Dark. Maybe you meant Plasma's default?

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:32pm

yeah sorry should of been more specific I meant the default GTK theme think its adweta or something? this one

I want it to use sweet dark to match the rest of the garuda theme( along with material light cursors)

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:32pm

Ok I get it, I have the same behavior!

I installed input-remapper to test.
This app uses an Ubuntu-like theme and launches asking for root PW.
Does lutris and your other GTK apps ask for root PW as well?

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:33pm

no lutris doesn't use root so I don't think that's why...

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:35pm

There may be something those apps do that is different in Wayland than X11, or maybe they are XWayland (or not!) and it works differently.

As a workaround, I believe you could edit your launcher and add the env variable I provided above. Do you know how to edit an app icon?

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:40pm

Yeah, that could be a solution. The strange thing is that is exactly what the GTK_themes_not_working link I posted in the op should be resolving. It links to a sway wiki where it mentions gtk apps having issues reading your gtk configs in Wayland and suggests a script to fix this. I guess the gsettings stuff doesn't work here?

EDIT: I could prob add the env for the GTK theme stuff to my bashrc or something too...

EDIT2: only works for GTK theme "While this is quite simple, it's also fairly limited, since there are no environment variables to set other settings, like icon/cursor themes."

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:49pm

Hum not sure about gsettings, it is installed on Garuda but I have no idea how well or bad it works with Wayland.

True you would not get the cursor in those apps.
Strange, Remmina works perfect including the cursor. Not sure what's different between your apps and Remmina and what's common between your apps that Remmina doesn't have.

Maybe there's another file (bashrc like you said) where this can be set, or maybe it uses a predefined theme located in root subvolume.
I see input-remapper uses a style.css and removing that file you get everything in CLI, no GUI.

I don't know much about all that, hopefully someone with more experience in this can chime in.

EDIT: Plasma, oh Plasma... one of the most famous Plasma integration issue: GTK apps running in Plasma not following the theme. This is as old as KDE and GTK got along with each other.

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 10:53pm

yeah tbh don't know too much either I just know how to find solutions online and follow them, but yeah tried doing some of the gsettings stuff they mention there manually, and I don't think it works the same way here at least not on Wayland plasma

EDIT: ah really maybe I should have checked if there were any open issues on the kde tracker for this

FGD · April 8, 2023, 10:59pm

That is one very important thing to do. Although sometimes they just don’t seem to work. lol

Yes that’s a good idea. Opening one is also possible, since it works in X11!

zany130 · April 8, 2023, 11:02pm

Could be this issue 459468 – Certain Xwayland apps do not respect third-party cursor theme on Wayland

FGD · April 9, 2023, 12:00am

That's a nice find! Tnx for sharing.
This seems specific to cursor themes but maybe App theme is related too.
