Why I can't use dark theme in Manjaro?

+0
−1

I was using Chrome for a moment in Manjaro. My theme was Adwaita dark which I chose from Tweaks. Suddenly, I noticed my theme was changed for no reason. I had updated my system 4-5 hours ago. When theme automatically changed something shown ~ I guess. It was written use gnome. But, I am using gnome also. I don't know if it was an error. When I try to change my theme again. It is automatically changing to light-theme. It's first time I have faced this kind of error. Why I can't use dark theme?


Magically, I can use dark theme again. I didn't do anything. Yesterday, I had faced the issue. Then, last night I had updated my system. When I turned my laptop on today, I saw dark theme is being used. I don't know what's going on.


Actually, the theme changes automatically when it's 6 AM than, it's change to light theme. When it's 6 PM then, it's change to dark theme. How to stop the behaviour?

Hard to tell, try it in a non-GNOME environment (4 comments)

It's hard to tell what's going wrong. Can reproduce that behavior in a small and simple window manager (e.g. Dwm or Cwm)? GNOME is too pervasive for tracking things down...

Quasímodo‭ I was using gnome since I started using Linux. gnome is my favorite one. How can I use non-gnome while I have gnome? :thinking

The question describes that the GTK theme changes. This may be caused by the GNOME desktop environment. If you switch to a non-GNOME environment (no need to uninstall it, rather just don't start it), you might narrow down whether GNOME is to blame by looking at programs that use GTK, such as Firefox. But meanwhile you solved the problem yourself, great. :)

Quasímodo‭ I didn't solve it. Manjaro forum did (:
