Remove/Improve theme for Bonita Studio

Hello !

I have installed Garuda with the beautiful Dr460nized theme and I have a theming issue with one of my applications I use for development purpose : Bonita Studio.

The issue is that the dark theme doesn't properly apply as the application doesn't have a dark theme pre built so it's kind of unusable :

Is there a way to improve this render or disable the auto theming for this application ?

I found a post about Libreoffice for the same issue but the answer was just to use the LibreOffice dark theme.

Thank you in advance !

It's a GTK2 app, so this may help:

Open System Settings
Appearance > Application Style > Configure GNOME / GTK Application Style (button)

Select "default" from the GTK theme drop-down menu. See if it looks right with the preview button.

Click the Apply button.

You may need to log out and back in to get the full effect on applications, I can't remember if that bug's been squashed or not yet.

Kvantum works very well for theming GTK applications. I've used it in the past to configure QT applications while in a GNOME environment. There is also this (taken from the Arch Wiki):
