            Bug ID: 507717
           Summary: Flatpak version of Dolphin lacks proper dark theme
                    integration on XFCE
    Classification: I don't know

  Target Milestone: ---

I'm a user of the XFCE desktop environment, currently running Linux Mint 21.3
XFCE (64-bit) with Flatpak version 1.12.7. I’m using the Flatpak version of
Dolphin (24.12.3) from Flathub.

While Dolphin works great in terms of features and functionality, I’ve had a
persistent issue: it doesn’t display properly in a dark theme when used on
XFCE.

There doesn’t seem to be any good built-in dark theme option that integrates
well with GTK-based desktop environments like XFCE when using the Flatpak
version. I’ve tried several workarounds-changing GTK/Qt styles, using Kvantum
themes, and similar tweaks-but the results are often messy. Some parts of the
UI remain bright, and certain text or icons become unreadable.

I’d like to request the addition of a more consistent and accessible dark theme
option (or improved dark theme support) for the Flatpak version of Dolphin,
especially for users outside the KDE Plasma desktop environment-XFCE in
particular.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining such excellent software!
