VSCode not respecting dark theme.

[adhadse]

Describe the issue

After installing flatpak package and changing the theme via terminal, the VSCode changes to a light theme header bar. Is this a bug? The console also does the same thing, but that will anyway be ported to GTK4 so no worry there.

Yeah, but the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css does not exist or is empty.

This is what I did.

$ flatpak install org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark
Looking for matches…
Skipping: org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3/x86_64/3.22 is already installed
Skipping: org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark/x86_64/3.22 is already installed
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'adw-gtk3-dark' && gsettings set org.

Closing this issue. The problem is resolved by extracting and installing manually and logging out of the Gnome session fixes it.
