Light theme not working in Gnome

General system Newbie

Hi there,

i am new to EndeavourOS and used Fedora before. After installation the dark theme in Endeavour OS does not work completely so i fixed it with
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal.
But now the light theme is broken like the settings menu in the top right corner stays dark even if i active the default theme.
Is there a way to install the light theme by myself ?
And sorry if i did not see the solution in the forum. I did not find what i think i need.
Thanks a lot for the help and best regards from Germany. :slight_smile:

Hi @Seelendrache and welcome to the purple side :wave:

Have you tried installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk? I once forgot installing it and couldn’t switch from light to dark.

Hi @ntp ,
thank you. I tried it, but no luck :frowning:

Well, sorry to hear that. One last thing you could try is installing “adw-gtk3”, which adds the GTK3 version of the default GNOME theme - both in dark and light variant.
