See [CONTRIBUTING. ## Frequently asked questions +### Some applications don't switch their appearance + +Like GNOME's built-in dark mode, the extension switches the standard freedesktop.org color scheme preference. Older applications might not follow this preference. + +It is possible to force a GTK theme in the extension preferences, but please note that this can visually break applications. It is better to ask the developers of the applications to support the standard preference. + ### Something doesn't work on Ubuntu Unfortunately, Ubuntu ships heavily modified GNOME components to implement some features like accent colors. Because they did so in a very hacky way instead of working with upstream and other desktop projects on a proper solution, it results in a broken out of the box experience with the extension, which expects a standard environment. Not much can be done as I don't want to code workarounds on top of hacks.
