My gnome is all messed up. The theme is all over the place. Some windows are transparent and dark, for example settings and files. Others just have different themes, like dconf-editor and extension manager.
I feel like I have tried everything. Even a dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ to get back to defaults. But nothing seems to do the trick.

Thinking maybe someone on here will be able to help me? :)

As an aside, and not to get into the whole snap/flatpack whatever deal. My snap-apps have wrong cursor theme, and this seems to be a thing I am supposed to live with or something? Is there a solution to this? :)

Update:

Ah ok. I have finally figured this out myself. It seems that some of these applications are GTK4 apps. Theme settings for these apps are simply a css file in a folder, and not related to any other settings in gnome. Thats pretty silly if you ask me… ~./config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css

      Oh wow, I didn’t know snaps don’t follow system theme. The more you know 🌈 ⭐

        If you are using defaults in gnome it’s fine, but custom themes don’t work.

        Flatpaks definitely do follow the system theme by default. I’m running Silverblue, so all my apps are Flatpaks.

    Disable all extensions first, then reenable individually.

    Flatpak and snaps do not integrate directly into system themes without special care. No idea how snap works, but flatpak requires some ‘bridge’ theme installed to properly interface with the system theme.

      I tried resetting it all. No extensions or anything.

        Can you list some more specifics then? Distro, what the theme should be, which applications are not respecting theme and how, are they GTK 3 or GTK 4, how are they installed (package manager, flatpak, snap, etc)?

          I have figured it out :) It was because they were GTK 4, and for some reason they had a css file in my config dir

            Excellent! You should update your original post with the solution, if you haven’t.
