Inconsistency of theming. EOS6 workaround

Some apps don’t apply the same theme, it’s not pleasant. open for exemple transmission, it use old adwaita theme.

The solution is to use the adw-gtk3 theme, with some tricks given that eos6 uses gnome 43 and that certain flatpak applications use 44 45 46 47…

setup is easy, open the terminal and paste this:

flatpak install -y org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3 org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark
mkdir ~/.themes/
cd ~/.themes/
wget https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3/releases/download/v4.9/adw-gtk3v4-9.tar.xz
tar -xf adw-gtk3v4-9.tar.xz
mv adw-gtk3 adw-gtk3v4.9
mv adw-gtk3-dark adw-gtk3v4.9-dark
wget https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3/releases/download/v1.3/adw-gtk3v1-3.tar.xz
tar -xf adw-gtk3v1-3.tar.xz
rm *.xz
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ‘adw-gtk3’ && gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme ‘default’
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=/sysroot/home/$USER/.themes/
sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=adw-gtk3v4.9
