I’m running the latest KDE neon User Edition. Ever since the upgrade to KDE Plasma 6, Flatpak Gtk applications are displayed in the Breeze light theme, although the system is configured to use Breeze Dark. These applications include at least Slack and Inkscape. Furthermore, Inkscape is displayed in Breeze (the default light breeze), but with Breeze Dark icons, which makes it partly unusable. In the Preferences menu, I can manually switch the theme over to Breeze Dark from the system default theme, from which point Inkscape will begin to be rendered correctly. Other apps don’t have this ability to configure the theme, and I want correct support for the system-wide configuration anyway. Interestingly, Chrome installed from a deb package and configured to use the GTK theme is displayed correctly in Breeze Dark and correctly responds to switching Gtk themes as described in [Electron apps dark theme issue after the latest KDE 6 update]
So, my question is: is it a bug in the Flatpak’s org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze package (which is at version 6.0.3, by the way), Plasma, or the KDE neon? And is there a way around it?
Thanks for the link. I am currently experiencing the comment saying “it cannot be downloaded.” I’ll perform an update and see if the fix gets pulled down.
Pulling the latest updates didn’t fix it. But, I was able to fix by forcing the plasma-integration to the latest version. For some reason, the default wanted to be a 5.x version.
And this fix it… if you are having dark themes issues, try this command.
~$ sudo apt install plasma-integration=6.0.3-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build42

For anyone with a similar problem, this might be helpful:
I also had version 5.19.4 of the plasma-integration package installed after the Neon upgrade. I checked the output of apt-cache policy plasma-integration, which said that there are newer versions but the installation candidate is the old version I already had installed.
But I actually had that version pinned in apt via /etc/apt/preferences.d/99-plasma-integration. I can’t remember that I added that rule, so it was probably installed by Neon itself. Anyway, removing that file unpinned the old version, so a sudo apt dist-upgrade actually upgraded the file and fixed the theme issues.
