AppImage hardcoded to use Adwaita light theme
Summary:
AppImage does not allow changing the GTK theme. GTK Inspector shows that the theme is hard coded with GTK_THEME, and sure enough, the Apprun contains the following line:
export GTK_THEME=Default # This one should be bundled so that it can work on systems without Gtk
Commenting this out fixes the issue.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape (AppImage v1.5)
- Try changing the theme
What happened?
Nothing; theme always defaults to Adwaita.
What should have happened?
Theme should have changed.
