bug: Flatpaked Gradience writes to internal config directory

[ghost]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

When Gradience is installed via Flatpak and used to theme Libadwaita apps, it adds a global override to allow all apps to read ~/.config/gtk-4.0, but writes the CSS to ~/var/app/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience/config/gtk-4.0/.

Because of this, no themes are applied to Libadwaita apps.

OS

Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

Installation method

Additional context

As a workaround, I copied the files to the correct directory manually.

Huh... Weird... I can't reproduce on my side. It doesn't write anything to ~/.var/app/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience/config/gtk-4.0/ as well in my case.

Can you maybe try to reboot the session ? Maybe is there something wonky with flatpak ?

I also can't reproduce this bug.

You should check if a xdg-config/gtk-4.0 (not ~/.config/gtk-4.0, as Flatpak may interpret this in some twisted way) path is allowed in your global Flatpak permissions.

I can also no longer reproduce this. Maybe this is something that can only happen in some weird edge case during the initial setup.

Since this is no longer reproducible by any of us, I'm closing this issue, but if you find something interesting about it, please send you findings here. I'll also look into this when I'll be reworking preset internals.
