I have totally ran out of ideas as to why Chrome/Firefox both won't use my GTK theme which is set to dark. I've been messing around with trying to add --force-dark-mode --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode to the flags, but that doesn't appear to be working either. I don't know whether I'm doing it wrong or not.

I tried adding the following to ~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini as well.

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1

That didn't work either.

Could anyone provide me with some advice as to how to get Chromium to use dark mode? I'm on pretty much a brand new installation of Ubuntu 22.04.02

EDIT: Changing the files I mentioned and rebooting solved the issue.

  • You could always just add a dark theme to it if there is one that matches: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/themes – Terrance Apr 23 '23 at 16:55
  • This may be due to snap.
