Chrome doesn't detect light/dark theme change on Linux (KDE/Flatpak) #273
Comments
Interesting, the dark mode detection implementation in Chromium uses the portal system, so this should work. Relevant code: Do you have any dbus binding errors in the logs at startup? |
Yes, there is one, related to kwallet (not installed):
but nothing else |
I can't reproduce this on GNOME 46 Beta (Fedora 40 branched). Can you confirm the DE and version you are using? |
It is:
running Xorg |
Unless you've set up your environment differently, KDE doesn't use dconf for configuration and thus won't reflect those changes to Gnome settings that the dconf commands modify. You'll need to change things the KDE-way, which most easily is done through the settings utility. |
KDE way is unrelated here.

I've verified that this works as intended on KDE 6 RC2 (Fedora 40), so this is either a KDE 5.27 bug or an environment issue. Can you verify that
or the systemd way
|
I verified that both processes are running:
Likely it's the environment issue, but I don't trust flatpak because had to fix several old known bugs manually. There is another thing that differs from native package: under 'Appearance' menu there is a dark mode selector (light/dark/system), which is missing in flatpak Chrome. I wonder if it's shown depending on the environment or enabled using flags? |
I don't have those options either and dark mode still follows the system, as expected. Would you mind waiting for KDE 6 to release (it's due next week) and seeing if the issue persists? |
I don't think KDE 6 is coming to steam deck any soon. Will continue investigating. |
