rTheme stopped applying to GTK3/4 apps

[tejasraman]

@risiIndustries The rTheme accents do not seem to apply to GTK3 or GTK4 apps (they did apply when I installed the OS, but they do not apply now. I tried manually running rthemed too (/usr/bin/rthemed start) but that did nothing. I am using the default Wayland session.

RisiOS 38

Extensions (I did try disabling these):

• AppIndicator/KStatusNotifier support
• Bing Wallpaper
• Blur My Shell
• Custom Hot Corners
• Dash to Dock (replacement for default Dock form Dash extension)
• GSConnect

I also have all built-in extensions (including risiGNOME) that were enabled out of the box EXCEPT for Dock from Dash

Sorry for the long response... Can you please run systemctl status --user rthemed after changing the theme?

If you want to know, there were no errors and rthemed runs just fine. If you need the output, I'll add it in 2 mins, I'm replying from my phone

hm... 🤔

Can you show me what's in the file ~/.config/gtk4.0/gtk.css

[tejasraman]

Hmmm. It has nothing in it at all

Systemd process output:

gtk.css for gtk4

I have an idea on what it may be. Can you set the theme to either "risi" or "classic" and see if the problem still occurs. It may be not applying a theme at all to gtk because of the theme name being adwaita.

Also, if that isn't the issue, as a temporary workaround, you can apply your red accent color manually by adding

@define-color accent_color #e01b24;
@define-color accent_bg_color #e01b24;

to ~/.config/gtk3.0/gtk.css and ~/.config/gtk4.0/gtk.css

EDIT: For the workaround, after doing this, disable rTheme to prevent it being overwritten with systemctl stop --user rthemed and systemctl disable --user rthemed

Tried that already, same thing.
