Title:
  Cannot switch between light/dark theme in the GNOME session

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In the Ubuntu session, gnome-control-center has an "Appearance"
  section which allows to switch from Light and Dark themes (which will
  apply to GTK4 apps as well as set the preference for GTK3 apps), but
  that section doesn't exist in the control center in the GNOME session.

  This means that while you can still choose alternate themes using
  GNOME Tweaks, they won't properly apply the chosen variant, and by
  default setting a dark theme will apply that theme's light variant to
  GTK3 apps while also not switching GTK4 apps to the dark variant of
  libadwaita.

  You can set the which variant with the command line ("gsettings set
  org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark"), but you cannot
  do this within the UI from the GNOME session like you can from the
  Ubuntu session.

  My understanding is that this stems from the gnome-control-center
  being in its 41.4 version, with the light/dark switch backported in
  for the Ubuntu session but not the GNOME session.  That in my opinion
  doesn't make for a great user experience in the GNOME session.
