Tweaks not working

[meetdilip]

Hi,

I installed it by using a simple./install.sh and it worked. But I had a bug with dual monitor in Inkscape. When I try to open a file, it is half in one monitor and half in another. So I cannot open any file using Inkscape.

Due to this bug, I uninstalled Orchis theme sing ` ./install.sh -u " and problem starts.

Whatever I do, my theme won't change using Gnome Tweaks. I even tried using the Extension Manager tool.

The only thing that works is Settings dark and light theme switch.

Just now I used ./install -r and Yaru blue and other accent colours are working. But sadly, when I choose Yaru -dark - blue, it won't switch to dark using Tweaks.

In short, something broke Gnome Tweaks on my Ubuntu 22.04.

It would be nice if you can help me fix the Tweaks issue. Thanks.

Did you installed libadwaita fix?

[vinceliuice]

You need run ./install.sh -l -r

[meetdilip]

Thanks for the help. I didn't use-l while installing. Is that causing the issue regarding Inkscape?

I just tried the command you gave. Now the Tweaks work, but only after log out and log in.

[vinceliuice]

This just make dark mode and theme switch not work, I don't think it will cause inkscape issues

[meetdilip]

Even now I am having problems using Tweaks. I tried all 3

./install.sh -u

./install.sh -r

./install.sh -l -r

But unable to switch themes using Tweaks or Extension Manager

I even went through the process of installing and uninstalling again to confirm. Still unable to switch themes. Only Settings > Light / Dark will work :(

Libadwaita not support theme switch anymore, it’s not a bug, just gnome team do not want support custom themes anymore

[meetdilip]

I removed everything related to Orchis to the best of my effort. Any chance I can get the Tweaks back as it was before trying the install.sh ? Thanks.

@meetdilip alt+f2, then rt or better r after EVERY change.

Also, go complain to the gnome devs, and be glad there's a libadwaita fix provided at all.

[meetdilip]

@Demetrio92 I am not sure I understood the context

I am simply requesting help to go back to a condition before I executed the ./install.sh

[vinceliuice]

If you want system setting and nautilus ... apps switch theme by gnome-tweaks you need go back to gnome-shell version < = 42.0, It's not the theme cause tweaks not work, it Gnome do not support theme switch after version 42.0 you understand?

[vinceliuice]

If you still think it's the theme cause it, you can install a new system in virtualbox to see if it can switch themes by tweaks

[meetdilip]

Ok, thanks for the info.

[meetdilip]

Tweaks was working for me. Perhaps because I upgraded from 20.04. After trying install.sh, I lost the ability to change themes using Tweaks. Thanks for all the inputs.

[Demetrio92]

@meetdilip use do install.sh --uninstall. Cuz if you used install with a --libadwaita flag it linked some directories in your $HOME/.config/gtk4.0 see: https://github.com/vinceliuice/Orchis-theme/blob/master/core.sh#L199

This probably messes up the other themes. There is no other way to make libadwaita apps to follow themes. If you have a backup for your gtk4.0 folder, restore it, and all will be good.

Thanks @Demetrio92 , I went for a fresh install this time.
