I can confirm this.
I fired up Mint 20 Cinnamon in Vbox and installed GnuCash 3.8 from the
Mint repos.
Generally, GnuCash should use the default GTK theme, which on Mint 20 is
Mint-Y-Dark.
*note, the proper file name is `settings.ini` *not* `setup.ini`
Per the wiki I created:
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
to contain:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Mint-Y-Dark
ref: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Themes
ref: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GTK_CONFIG_HOME
Remembering that some 'Dark' themes aren't completely dark, with some
panels still light, I tried:
gtk-theme-name=Mint-Y-Darker
to no effect.
I also tried with setting this key instead:
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
ref:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme
ref: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Themes
also to no effect.
*note, the above referenced Wiki page on themes advises to set the theme
using Gnome Tweak. But Mint has its own Theme preference app. Presumably
GnuCash should use the default system theme. It also discusses
installing a custom theme, but that is not needed in this case at is a
system theme.
I suppose I should fire up the GTKInspector to see what theme is being
picked up. I shall report back what I find.

Adrien

If the setup.ini works on a mac should it work on Mint/ Ubuntu if yes
Then I have had no luck with the setup.ini doing anything for setting the
dark theme = true on Mint 20.04
