Dark mode in XFCE (xubuntu 24.04)

[awandahl]

This is no big deal as I like the Light Mode, but anyway. I use xubuntu 24.04 (XFCE) and the Dark Mode is not available as an option under View. I have installed adwaita-qt from apt and now I guess I need to call that from not1mm, or put it like an environmental variable locally. I have tried to put "export QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=adwaita" in my ~/.profile which didn't work. By the way, the option to use Light/Dark Mode should be visible under the View tab, right? I gather that my specific setup is identified by not1mm and this option is hidden? Have anyone of you successfully enabled Dark Mode in XFCE?

Yup, I use xfce. I could not look at the screen long at all without dark mode.

I changed the app a bit ago to follow the system theme. So if I change the system theme to something like Adwaita I get:

But if I switch the system theme to Adwaita-Dark I get:

It might not work depending on the theme you've chosen.

Ahhh... I get it! I actually prefer the light mode so I'm not complaining. I just wondered were the change theme button went...

[mbridak]

The only reason I had the button in the first place is that I didn't know how to determine if the system was in light or dark mode. Once that was figured out it just made it all easier. and it made sense to remove the button.

I have now found out how to change the system theme and by doing so get to the not1mm dark mode. Only to realize that I really prefer the light theme. I'm happy! Thanks for explaining.
