GTK theme not applying to Gnome Settings or Gnome Extensions

[Avapaa]

Hi!
I'm currently running Arch Linux with Gnome 42.3-1 and X11. Yesterday I installed the Dracula theme for GTK and it works just fine in most applications. However, in certain apps like Gnome Settings or Gnome Extensions the theme fails to apply. A screenshot of the behavior can be found below:

I've only recently got back to Linux and Gnome again. If this is a known issue then please disregard. Thanks!

Find gtk-4.0 folder on your theme folder and put on ~/.config/gtk-4.0/

Looks broken when I try it, I reverted to what GTK 4.0 had before Dracula after seeing it. Weird bottom border, missing window bar controls.

yeah, if you want to implement theme for the entire application, just copy all the files on gtk-4.0 in the theme folder to .config/gtk-4.0 at home directory but the theme is only static, light and dark mode does not affect the theme

If interesting, I've created this ansible role [1] which by default install's the dracula theme, and also create the fix for the gtk-4.0 using the workaround[2] mentioned before.
It will install and auto configure dracula in autmotated way. It also supports a uninstall via tags. Hope that helps.

For newer versions of gnome using libadwaita it's highly recommended to use this script
