KeePassXC no longer respects GTK dark theme

[arielnmz]

I'm reopening this issue since the other one (#42) was closed and there was no response to my last comment, and it is still present in KeepassXC version:

Hi, try using the last option from the list. The classic allowed me to use Adwaita-Dark just fine so I guess it should work for you too. I guess something is broken on keepassxc side because it doesn't work in non-flatpak too. As an example it works just fine on RPCS3 flatpak which has the same runtime as KPXC. Even though it was implemented keepassxreboot/keepassxc#7422 it doesn't work. I use it in dwl (wlroots based) but I don't know if it makes any difference.

Interesting, thanks for linking to that PR. I'm not really looking for a workaround as just manually selecting the Dark mode is enough, but the issue is that it is not honoring my system's settings as it should and I felt like this needed to be reopened.

I tried this recently and after a reboot it has worked flatpak override --filesystem=~/.themes;

Just upgraded to Fedora 40 and this issue is back again. Setting the theme manually to dark works fine but Automatic defaults to light.

Setting theme via gsettings does not work:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

Copying the gtk-3.0 settings into ~/.var/app/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC/config/gtk-3.0 does not work either:

$ cat $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita-dark
gtk-font-name = sans 10

Recommend filing a bug with flatpak
