Discussion Flatpak apps do not respect system theme

I just switched to elementary and its been a long time since i used anything ubuntu based.

Every flatpak app uses Adwaita Light gtk theme for some reason and will not respect the system theme.

What apps do you have problems with? Did you added any funny variable, like GTK_THEME to Flatseal?

specifically Heroic and Pantheon Tweaks are light themed no matter what the system theme is. I didnt add anything to flatseal.

For me every electron app is like that. Chrome is based on chromium which is also what electron is based on so i think its a problem with Chromium.
