is there in anyway shape or form to make gtk4 softwares background to pitch black?

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

This maybe harsh but I personally hate gray themes to death

[strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show]

Wouldn't a high contrast dark theme do something like that?

[Guest]

Have you searched gnome-looks.org?

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

how can I archive that on KDE? I never use Gnome before therefore I don't understand how gtk theming work XD

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

yes I did tried a lot of themes from gnome look but it only affect gtk3 softwares and maybe some gtk4 softwares, software like Gnome calculator, Easyeffects doesn't change a thing

[astro_ray@piefed.social]

There is a hacky way to turn the background pitch black using css. There used to be an app that I think could change the background. https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience

Try this theme. It has some fix for libadwaita app. Although, your issue could be because of flatpaks. Any chance your flatpak apps are not getting themed?

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

Thanks I'll give it a try, No I don't use Flatpaks I only use the AUR

[Guest]

Did you install EasyEffects with flatpak? If so you need to add some override flag, can't remember what it is but it should be easy to find, maybe arch wiki etc.

Go to settings, search for Application Style, there, in the top right you can click Gtk Theme and select one. You can also click Get new.. and download a new one. Note that they might now show all by default.

You can find more via the website. To do so, select any, click Visit project website and search the site for more. To find them in the Get new... window, just put the name in the search bar. They are guaranteed to show then.

You can use a black theme.
Look at gnome-look.org

You can also reverse engineer them to look how they make the theme blank and apply it to adwaita. This is not complicated as themes are mostly CSS.

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

I don't use Flatpaks only the AUR or build from source as for Easyeffect I install it from the AUR

[coldwater@lemmy.ca]

Right now I'm using "Flat Remix Darkest" but it only affected Lutris and some other gtk3 softwares but no luck with Easyeffect, but it did worked on Gnome disk utility tho

[bitwolf@sh.itjust.works]

Cant you override the css for your app only? I think that exposes background.

[anon5621@lemmy.ml]

+1 for gradience

[helloroot@lemy.lol]

Same dude... I fucking hate gtk apps on kde because of the fucked up theming shit piss cunt wankers

[monkdervierte@lemmy.ml]

libadwaita-without-adwaita and use a theme.

[mwa@lemm.ee]

GTK 3 can be easily customized
