wpgtk not applying theme on GNOME 3.36?

[zegheim]

I'm currently using Pop!_OS 20.04 on GNOME 3.36. I used pywal and its derivatives (e.g. pywalfox pywal-telegram, etc.) to theme my terminal and other windows, and found out about wpgtk to help theme everything else.

However something seems to have gone wrong: this is the palette generated by wpgtk using the colorz backend:

but setting it results in an almost white-ish color for everything (see above and below):

What seems to be the problem here? I was expecting something more like what firefox looks like right now:

have you set your theme to FlatColor?

[zegheim]

I just did and while most windows are colored correctly like so:

the colors seem to mess up when I click on "Displays" on the GNOME settings GUI for some reason:

which remains that way even if I were to switch back to the previous tab:

try out the new 6.2.2 release, it should fix this issues hopefully, just try to apply a theme again

[zegheim]

Hi, unfortunately I'm still hitting the same issue on 6.2.2. Are there any diagnostic logs wpgtk produces that could potentially help debug this?

[deviantfero]

post what you get when you run wpgtk please, this updated version should give a little bit more insight I'm dusting off a VM to try and reproduce myself

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for so I've tried playing around with the wpgtk GUI and these are the messages shown:

Hi, I've updated wpgtk try the new version 6.2.3, uninstall xsettingsd it does not play nice with Unity, the issue should be fixed

[zegheim]

Hi, so sorry for the trouble - I've updated to the latest version and uninstalled xsettingsd but still no dice unfortunately.

I am using FlatColor theme which I downloaded from your other repo (as suggested in one of the closed issues) - could you confirm that this is correct? Is it also worth it to clear all cache and do a clean installation of wpg? Many thanks.

[deviantfero]

after doing that I'd recommend ending the session and logging back in with FlatColor as your gtk theme, re-set the theme if that's not working, if not you could try opening tweaks from console and pasting any weird output you see here, don't worry I'd really like to solve this as there are many people using gnome besides you, maybe they've ran into this issue and just gave up or something, so it's good that you brought it up

Posting some logs I got from uninstalling wpgtk, removing ~/.config/wpg, logging out and back in, reinstalling wpgtk, and then running wpg and setting the wallpaper / some config using the GUI:

This doesn't do anything - the Displays tab is still showing really weird colors:

Will update this post when I finish running tweaks.

EDIT: By tweaks do you mean gnome-tweaks? I ran gnome-tweaks -v -d to see if there's any interesting output but doesn't seem much:

Can reproduce on a Pop live USB using wal as the backend. It also seems as though new windows opened after wpg refreshes the GTK theme default back to Adwaita. I didn't have any interesting terminal output.

I will spin up a Pop live USB and see what I can do

Still need to work on this

[zimri-leisher]

Encountering a similar issue, on Pop OS also. My guess is that it has to do with the monitor identifiers showing up on the top of the screen when you click on Displays. The colors show up fine: And then after clicking on displays section:

It goes away if I 1) click on another section and then 2) close and reopen Settings. Is there another way to get the monitor identifiers to show? I bet that could help narrow it down.
