gtk: Use Arc-Dark instead of Adapta
Since the Adapta theme isn't maintained anymore, some problems in newer
versions of GNOME (such as incorrect padding for text underlines in
Nautilus) cannot be reported since issues are disabled.

It turns out that Arc-Dark does have padding, I just wasn't scaling GTK
applications properly. Since I already use the Arc theme for KDE, using
it for GTK as well gives all my desktop applications a universal look
and feel.

The solid variant is used instead of the original to remove the
transparent effect seen in Nautilus. The Arc GTK theme supports both
light and dark color schemes, which is very nice.

gtk-settings

GTK is the widget toolkit used by Firefox, Electron, and many (if not all) GNOME applications.

GTK's settings.ini only affects window managers and not the GNOME desktop environment. This is because GNOME manages user preferences with dconf through gsettings.

Use Cases

gtk-settings can be used to:

  • Control the appearance of GTK applications under non-GNOME environments

You do not need to use gtk-settings if:

  • You are using the GNOME desktop environment
