I started my Linux journey with at DE as I’m sure quite a few people have. I’ve recently moved to trying out WMs to see what they’re about. During this process I discovered that not all apps respected my system theme/style choices I made in my initial DE configuration.

Finally, here’s a couple of wiki pages that will also help:
