From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to change dark/light nature of libadwaita in non-gnome systems?

@[email protected] @[email protected]
I use a window manager on Wayland. I know customising gtk4 apps is hard for some reasons. Neither I want some great level of customisation for it. I do not need uniform theming etc.
JUST
A simple way to change dark light theme from terminal. I use darkman to switch between dark and light theme. I just need a way to switch between dark and light with libadwaita
Please help.

Use gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark' 

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

Adding

[Settings]                                                                                                                                                                
gtk-theme-name=Adwaita-dark

to $USER/.config/gtk-4.0 and $USER/.config/gtk-3.0 should do the trick.

Have a look here, it might help. I can't help much, I have KDE and Hyprland but I setup theming in KDE and it also sets in Hyprland.
