Bug ID: 433080
Summary: Dark theme is not used in most GTK programs
Product: Breeze
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: gtk theme
Assignee: uhh...@gmail.com

Example of "dark" type icons being used on a "light" theme in Inkscape but this
happens in pretty much every GTK app.
SUMMARY
I use Breeze Dark theme with Breeze Dark icons. So, symbolic icons appear white
to contrast with the dark theme. I assume that GTK apps will also switch
automatically to dark icons if I select Breeze as a GTK theme. Unfortunately
pretty much every GTK app I tried uses a light theme with dark icons, so they
become nearly invisible on the white background.
Case in point: InkScape (see screenshot).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Breeze Dark theme and icons
2. Select breeze as GTK theme
3. Run GTK App such as InkScape
OBSERVED RESULT
App uses a white theme with dark icons, so every symbolic icon appears white
and is nearly invisible because the app uses a light theme.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should use the Breeze Dark GTK theme not only the icons.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.21
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-65-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know nearly enough about Linux to tell which GTK an app is using. I see
that some do use a dark theme, for example I installed galculator or gedit and
they do appear to use dark theme and dark icons. But most other apps such as
Inkscape, Audacious, and so on, use light theme and dark icons so the icons are
nearly invisible.
