How to fix the dark mode after the Gnome 1:44 update?
I recently updated Gnome to 1:44.0 and since the update my dark mode settings seem to be ignored for Gnome applications. When setting the dark style in Settings > Appearance, the desktop background is updated, but applications remain bright. I tried restarting (log out and reboot), but Gnome applications remain bright.
I managed to fix legacy applications by setting gnome-tweaks to Adwaita-dark, but I can't find any additional settings for applications like Settings or Nautilus.
Does anybody know how to fix the dark mode for non-legacy applications in Gnome 1:44?

It seems like Gnome requires xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
that has been removed to be installed.
It turns out that things used to work due to a fallback path that has been removed now.
Installing the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package and logging out resolved the issue for me.
For bonus points: make sure to check your user config (on my system it can be found under ~/.config/gtk-4.0/) to check if you did not overwrite any dark-mode settings if the issue is not resolved after installing the package.
