Description:
After a recent update, I now always only see the white theme of GTK4 apps anyway, even when dark theme is enabled in GNOME settings. But I don't know which specific package update caused this breakdown.

Steps to reproduce:
Run any GNOME's GTK4 application, for example Nautilus or GNOME Settings with dark theme enabled.
This task depends upon

I found out for sure that this problem appears precisely as a result of updating libadwaita 1:1.3.5-1 to 1:1.4.0-1.

Can't reproduce, it's on your end.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to say seek the appropriate support channels like the forum, IRC, Reddit, etc. for help.

See also  FS#79754 . I can repro if xdg-desktop-portal is not installed (e.g. when choosing not to install flatpak which depends on xdg-desktop-portal). Do you have xdg-desktop-portal installed? If not, what happens if you install it?

I installed xdg-desktop-portal and it solved the problem.

Yep, you need xdg-desktop-portal now. They changed the package upstream.

I have the same issue after updating to 1:1.4.0-1, but in my case it was caused by having xdg-desktop-portal-git (aur 1.17.2) installed instead of xdg-desktop-portal (1.16.0-3). I have also confirmed that xdg-desktop-portal (1.18.0-1) from extra-testing has the same issue, but I am unsure if this is specific to my configuration.

As of GNOME 45, x-d-p is pulled in by more than just flatpak i.e. nautilus, epiphany, totem, gnome-contacts, gnome-clocks, gnome-maps, etc.
