But user themes *is* installed and *is* working - here's a screenshot of gnome-tweaks/Extensions showing the user themes extension with no exclamation mark. It most definitely is working, because I can change the themes (application and shell themes) to my user-installed ones.
I think the user themes thing is a red herring. On Disco (and until recently on Eoan), if you select, say, the adwaita-dark theme for applications, the topbar menus change to match this new application theme. This includes if you are using the default shell theme - so it works even if you don't have user themes installed. I just confirmed this on another PC running Disco. The behaviour has changed in Eoan so that the topbar menus now always use the yaru-light theme unless you change the shell theme to another. In other words, it appears that the topbar menus now renders using the system theme, whereas before it rendered using the application theme. This might be deliberate, but in my book it's a regression. If it *is* deliberate, shouldn't there be an adwaita-dark and yaru-dark theme supplied as a system shell theme? ** Attachment added: "gnome-tweaks showing user themes extension.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1842886/+attachment/5287046/+files/gnome-tweaks%20showing%20user%20themes%20extension.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842886 Title: gnome-shell top bar menus no longer honour application theme settings, eg dark themes Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When you selected a dark application theme, the gnome-shell top bar menus used to also switch to match the theme (ie light text on a dark background) - eg see the screenshot showing the top-bar calendar at https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/news/2015/03/01/approaching- gnome-3.16.html).
