I am running Sway on Debian 12 and I just can't succeed in theming QT Flatpaks. The system is in a dark theme but all the QT Flatpaks are using a light theme. I tried a bunch of overrides ans exposes the .themes folder in my home after copying all the themes. Nothing seems to work. Did anyone succeed in theming these apps in a window manager?

The themes section on the desktop integration doc here might be of use: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html

This may be useful for further elaboration: https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/comments/y9jmqj/the_general_flatpak_qt_and_gtk_theming_guide/

Going off of these guides my best guess would be that you don't yet have kvantum or some other theme runtime installed within flatpak

I'll also mention Stylepack exists for automating and streamlining theme installation, it's only for GTK currently however but maybe will be of use in future: https://github.com/refi64/stylepak

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.
