@JobMaxcello Most likely, this is because gnome-software uses Libadwaita or because you have it installed as a FlatPak. If it's not a FlatPak, you can use the make file #200 to install the themes for use with Libadwaita.

@ran-dall Could you please provide some more details of how to use this command and implement the Dracula theme across all applications, thanks

[ran-dall]

@tylert93 Sure. essentially GTK-3 and GTK-4 styles are different, and also GTK-4 expects theme files in an XDG-friendly location. The make file just automates that for you.

Another idea (for Libadwaita) is just to use the Grandience, which might be slightly more official (from a GNOME standpoint). They have an official Dracula theme and varying FlatPak support. You'll still need this repo for GTK-3 styles and everything else for anything non-Libadwaita (although Grandience can style GTK-3 but it didn't work for me when I tested it).
