Description Lorenz Hoffmann 2021-11-25 12:01:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
Changing the global design via `lookandfeeltool -a <theme>` doesn't update the GTK color theme. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the global theme to Breeze in the system settings
2. Run `lookandfeeltool -a org.kde.breezedark.desktop` from the command line
3. Look at the GTK preview in the system settings or open a GTK app

OBSERVED RESULT
The colors used by the GTK apps matches the colors from Breeze.

EXPECTED RESULT
Colors should match with Breeze Dark.

Comment 1 Lorenz Hoffmann 2021-11-27 23:14:19 UTC 
Since it works using the settings application and doesn't when using lookandfeeltool, it seems like they are using different backends. For the future, I think it would be better if they both use the same library / dbus call / whatever.

I find that executing `lookandfeeltool -a <theme>` twice works fine.
Comment 3 Lorenz Hoffmann 2023-01-15 10:53:52 UTC 
Seems to be fixed
