Hey, everyone! I'm what you might call an "intermediate user" I guess, and I usually manage to track down problem on my own, but here goes...

I'm using the Fedora Workstation 39 Beta 1.1, Just installed it and am up and running, Everything is working well, but I have a weird issue in that most (but not all) GTK4 apps are ignoring my Dark Style settings. Nautilus is light, for instance, but Console is not. The Wallpaper follows the light/dark setting, and once I tweaked it, so do the GTK3 apps.

I'm not sure how to provide more info. I have tried gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1 in ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini which seems to do nothing, I can't find a dbus entry, and I haven't really installed much, other than the adw-gtk3 theme, Gnome Console, and some flatpaks.

Any ideas?

ETA: TUrns out I'm not the only one; it may be a problem with the update: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/dark-mode-broke-after-last-update-on-fedora-39/89965

Part of the problem with playing with a beta, I guess...

Just curious, are you having any issues with Nautilus? I'm running the Silverblue variant of 39 and rawhide on one of my hosts (HP Elite 8300), and Nautilus is super laggy under both. I can't move the application window around on the desktop without a 2-3s delay. Same goes for selecting a folder, etc. I've done some preliminary searches and I don't see it mentioned in any bug reports or anywhere else, which has me wondering if I'm the only one. Vanilla GNOME throughout.

Sorry, mate; the dark mode not working is the only thing I've noticed as of now. I mean, I literally installed 39 yesterday, so I haven't really had a chance to dig in yet, but so far it's not an issue.
