Hello all

How do i change the colors of the Desktop app, it’s an all white-out following default them on Fedora?

All the best

Yeah, that’s not an issue specific to the Nextcloud app. Put simply, it’s because only GTK apps respect GNOME’s light/dark mode settings by default. And even then, not all GTK versions do, although most current apps do. Nextcloud Desktop is a Qt app, though, and there are various solutions for that.

Here’s a link to the Arch Wiki, which covers the topic in more detail: Uniform look for Qt and GTK applications

TL;DR: It’s a mess, but it’s not really directly related to the Nextcloud client.

Thank you @bb77 :slight_smile:

I hear you - but still, as i see it, it should be possible to change the colours of my app - and that is in the very control of NextCloud.

I’ll take a look at the link :slight_smile:

I think this is mostly tied to the system theme on Fedora rather than a separate color option inside the Nextcloud desktop app. You could try switching between light and dark mode in GNOME Settings and then restart Nextcloud.
