Is there an existing issue for this?

It's not all flatpak apps though, firefox and clapper follow the theme just fine

To Reproduce

1. Open Gradience

Expected behavior

To theme all applications

I am also using adw-gtk3 installed via the copr repo

[tfuxu]

_{Why does so many people have this issue...}
Could you please post here your ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides file?

[daudix]

also, do you use any gtk4 themes? Gradience, Extension Manager and Fragments look broken

[IvoryJam]

There is only 1 file in there "global" here are the contents

➜ ~ cat ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/global 
[Context]
filesystems=xdg-config/gtk-4.0;xdg-config/gtk-3.0;

I do not use any gtk4 themes, here's a screenshot from tweaks as confirmation

[tfuxu]

Do you maybe have a /var/lib/flatpak/overrides folder?

[IvoryJam]

I sure do

➜ ~ cd /var/lib/flatpak/overrides/
➜ overrides ls
global  org.telegram.desktop
➜ overrides cat global 
[Context]
filesystems=/home/IvoryJam/.themes;/home/IvoryJam/.icons;/home/IvoryJam/.local/share/themes;/home/IvoryJam/.local/share/icons;

[Environment]
GTK_THEME=adw-gtk3
➜ overrides cat org.telegram.desktop 
[Environment]
XCURSOR_SIZE=24

[tfuxu]

Remove value from GTK_THEME and set unset-environment=GTK_THEME; in Context group, this is how I have it on my system and adw-gtk3 works just fine with Flatpak apps.

[IvoryJam]

That fixed it

One more thing to add to Troubleshooting section

[daudix]

I will start writing troubleshooting docs section!
