How to make fedora-36-minimal's nautilus go dark

User Support General

In ~/.config/gtk*/settings.ini, I set

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
gtk-font-name=DejaVu Sans Book 12

and created ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with

style "user-font" 
{
        font_name="DejaVu Sans Book"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans Book 12"
gtk-theme-name="Adwaita-dark"
gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"

but nautilus won’t go dark


$ ps aux | grep settings
user        1130  0.0  0.5   3848  1900 pts/0    S+   04:56   0:00 grep --color=auto settings

What am I missing?

Hey @Fom, please post your tip here so I could mark it as a solution. It will help other users too!

Here you go :grin::

Open a terminal in your AppVM and type:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme “prefer-dark”
(That’ll sort out libreoffice, nautilus/files and standard gnome apps like calculator.)
