@jmcs after discovering Gemini, I'm just trying to replace web-browser things with native apps.

lol, it seems like some little gnome is messing with me.

after a system restart, I found that `gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme` was reset to `0` for `gtk-3`. I returned it to the previous state manually. It's strange which process could be responsible for this mysterious settings reset.

at least I found that this gnome had reset the same option for `gtk-4` before.

btw, I found the gnome who turn the GTK settings off.

It was me :) I've turned it off to prevent adwaita warnings about unsupported `gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme` option in my app. so I'm starting to understand some people who have an issues with the legacy GTK integrations..

Did someone make Transmission respect the dark theme? I wrote this article, but I have not yet found any solution for this app: [gemini link] Dark theme support in GTK 3 apps Also, the adw-gtk3 patch is not an option for me, as it overwrites other legacy apps, including Firefox, and this extension looks like a cheap copy of the original Adwaita dark style. It's Fedora 41 here.
