Theme can not be switched on KDE Linux

user7 · ‎2024-04-01

I'm using STM32CubeIDE (Linux generic version) on Linux Mint Debian Edition, KDE Window Manager.

When starting it as normal user the Themin is not working (Preferences-General-Appearance). The window has a dark theme (the one I choose in my KDE preferences). But I would like to use the default light theme.

The only way to do this is by running STM32CubeIDE with sudo. Is this expected or is there a workaround?

Thanks

I found the solution for this. You have to add a line to the startup script "stm32cubeide_wayland" which is located in the stm32cubeide_x.xx.x folder

Before the last line that starts cubeide add the line:

export GTK_THEME=Adwaita

Would be nice if this could be added by ST per default into this script.
