Hello all,

I have installed fedora kinoite and everything is working as expected, except theming.

I know this is a limitation due to sandboxing and that there is a way around it.

Now, all guides are either only for Gnome theming or 2-4 years old.

Is there a simplified way on how to make applications like Firefox and libreoffice use the standard breeze dark KDE theme?

Yes, apps use the default Breeze or Adwaita theme.

The issue are the apps you mentioned, Firefox and Libreoffice.

Libreoffice has its own GUI toolkit and simply doesnt follow the system. Sucks a bit.

Firefox can sync between light and dark mode, but I think only if you use default theming. I made a Breeze Dark Firefox theme but already made a better one I just need to upload.

For Firefox 125+, you can at least make it use your configured window control buttons with any theme addon by setting the about:config option widget.gtk.non-native-titlebar-buttons.enabled=false.

Cool! I always found the switching buttons strange

Your theme looks great! I'd definitely love to hear when the new one comes out!

I already made it with Firefox Color, but didnt yet upload it.

I even experimented with some Plasma Backgrounds but they are a bit distracting.

I like the Galaxy one and the "4am in the morning" one though.

Will upload them in a sec
