But user themes *is* installed and *is* working - here's a screenshot of gnome-tweaks/Extensions showing the user themes extension with no exclamation mark. It most definitely is working, because I can change the themes (application and shell themes) to my user-installed ones.
I think the user themes thing is a red herring. On Disco (and until recently on Eoan), if you select, say, the adwaita-dark theme for applications, the topbar menus change to match this new application theme. This includes if you are using the default shell theme - so it works even if you don't have user themes installed. I just confirmed this on another PC running Disco. The behaviour has changed in Eoan so that the topbar menus now always use the yaru-light theme unless you change the shell theme to another. In other words, it appears that the topbar menus now renders using the system theme, whereas before it rendered using the application theme. This might be deliberate, but in my book it's a regression. If it *is* deliberate, shouldn't there be an adwaita-dark and yaru-dark theme supplied as a system shell theme? ** Attachment added: "gnome-tweaks showing user themes extension.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1842886/+attachment/5287046/+files/gnome-tweaks%20showing%20user%20themes%20extension.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842886 Title: gnome-shell top bar menus no longer honour application theme settings, eg dark themes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1842886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
