I’ve added the Settings app to the “applications shown in App menu” but when I try to open it, it never opens. I’m trying to switch to the built-in dark theme.
Do you have fedora-39 or fedora-39-xfce template?
Settings Manager works for me in fedora-39-xfce.
I opened cat /etc/system-release and it says “Fedora release 39 (Thirty Nine)” so I don’t think it’s the XFCE version. Any ideas how I could get Settings app to work?
What’s the output of this command in your template?
dnf list installed | grep xfce
[user@work ~]$ dnf list installed | grep xfce
libxfce4ui.x86_64 4.18.6-1.fc39 @updates
libxfce4util.x86_64 4.18.2-1.fc39 @updates
xfce4-notifyd.x86_64 0.8.2-2.fc39 @fedora
xfce4-panel.x86_64 4.18.6-1.fc39 @updates
[user@work ~]$
Then it seems you’re using Gnome template fedora-39.
I don’t have one to test, but you can try to open Settings from terminal using this command:
gnome-control-center
I got this output:
[user@work ~]$ gnome-control-center
Running gnome-control-center is only supported under GNOME and Unity, exiting
[user@work ~]$
I guess it’s a bug with fedora templates:
It works for me on debian template with gnome.

This works for me.
Install the Adwaita theme in the template
sudo dnf install adw-gtk3-theme
Switch the gtk-4.0 theme in the vm
mv ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css.bak
cp /usr/share/themes/adw-gtk3-dark/gtk-4.0/gtk.css ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css
cat ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css.bak >> ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css
Select the theme in the vm
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "adw-gtk3-dark"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "adw-gtk3-dark"
For dark mode: this works for me on Gnome Fedora39,
The “Issue Settings app” not starting (won’t opening) is still not resolved
What if that cmd returns nothing? I have no templates nor fedora on my initial usb install. I only have dom0.
