Are you using one of the default elementartOS themes?
Technically, yes; I should have clarified that I meant the integrated theme switcher, rather than the new dark style from Elementary
@doamatto I found a temporary solution for this issue, but solving the real problem might be a little harder.
To correct the way the application looks run the following command in your terminal:
flatpak override --user --env=GTK_THEME="Adwaita" com.github.unrud.VideoDownloader
To set it to dark mode use:
flatpak override --user --env=GTK_THEME="Adwaita:dark" com.github.unrud.VideoDownloader
This can also be done using Flatseal:
Open Flatseal > Choose Video Downloader > Scroll down to Environment Variables > Add GTK_THEME="Adwaita"
or GTK_THEME="Adwaita:dark"
> reopen Video Downloader

I'm 90% sure the weird buttons and lack of dark mode are problems caused by elementary not coming with the Adwaita stylesheet installed, therefore apps aren't using the Adwaita theme, rather they are using the GTK fallback theme. I think the best way to solve the issue for not only Video Downloader but all other GNOME Applications is by reporting upstream and waiting...
UPDATE: Under elementaryOS on GNOME Shell the theme switch seems to work fine. I'll see if the issue is something that happens on other desktop environments, maybe things are even more complicated,
UPDATE 2: After testing in other Desktop Environments (specially KDE Plasma), it seems to work fine. Unfortunately I cannot say for sure what causes it to work/not work.
Possible "solutions":
I am also facing this same issue on xfce 4.16 on MX Linux 21. Currently, I used the "Terminal Override" method to solve it
I had the same issue in LMDE 5. The workaround solve it.
OS: Elementary OS 6 (Odin) App version: 0.8.5
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behaviour: The theme should switch to the dark theme, not stay with light theme.
