Hello. I'm using Debian testing with KDE Plasma 5.27. I'm experiencing a problem where GTK Flatpaks are not following the chosen GTK theme despite giving them permissions to access .themes and .icons folders found in the home directory. I tried the running the following commands in the terminal:

flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0:ro flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro

I even tried to specify a certain GTK theme to be chosen, that resulted in the flatpak changing to an ugly white-adwaita theme. I should note that this is happening exclusively with GTK Flatpaks, QT Flatpaks and GTK deb packages don't seem to have this problem. What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

    In this video explains everything you should know about flatpak theming.
    As others said, you probably haven't installed the chosen theme yet.

    Old ass adwaita/libadwaita bug; happens on every distro... I'm really starting to think it is more related to libadwaita itself than to flatpak 😭

      here's the same as text

      sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

      systemctl --user edit xdg-desktop-portal.service

      1. paste these two lines
      [Service]

Environment="XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway"

      systemctl --user restart xdg-desktop-portal.service
