Yeah I see the same thing - struggling to find a search term to describe the problem and stumbled across your post!
Was there any workaround you found? Basically - on cold boot the UI theme seems to be stuck on light despite dark being selected.

There is also a REALLY long delay on first start of the filemanager (talking 10 - 15 seconds) after dark is applied correctly its instant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083519 Title: Dark theme not applied when start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/2083519/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
