[Touch-packages] [Bug 2047705] Re: Packaging ships /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, forcing the GTK3 theme to Yaru and preventing flavors from overriding it with XDG configuration
A bug still exists here. GTK as a standalone package should not set Yaru as a default, especially if it doesn't declare it as a dependency. lxqt-session was simply a workaround. The Ubuntu Desktop Team needs to move this to their default settings package, and adjust GTK to appropriately read $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for the appropriate configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2047705 Title: Packaging ships /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, forcing the GTK3 theme to Yaru and preventing flavors from overriding it with XDG configuration Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lxqt-session package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Lubuntu uses Qt as the primary framework for most of the apps we ship.
