Isn't the technology used to recolor GTK apps just a CSS file with a list of
color definitions used by the Breeze GTK theme, updated by kde-gtk-config on
color scheme change? There's no recoloring module in any GTK3 Flatpak app, yet
recoloring works just fine in those. You just have to restart GTK3 Flatpak apps
if you change color, and I thought the GTK module was just for *that*.
The *real* problem is that kde-gtk-config does absolutely nothing with regards
to GTK4 configuration at the moment, even though the GTK4 theme supports the
same set of colors as the GTK3 theme. At least, as far as I can tell, it does
absolutely nothing. Searching kded/configeditor.cpp in the source for "gtk-3.0"
gives plenty of hits, but absolutely nothing for "gtk-4.0". Quizzically, the
codebase seems to have a recent commit to not use options deprecated in GTK4,
but doesn't actually write any GTK4 files at all.
You can probably work around this problem by linking all of the
xdg-config/gtk-3.0 files into xdg-config/gtk-4.0.
