minus-squareOutwit1294@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoOh, so flatpaks cannot automatically get system themes? If it is trial and error, is it really useful for a normal user?
minus-squareT Jedi@bolha.forumcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 hours agoSystem themes, probably most of them work. But most of them don’t bother watching the user themes or icons folder. I don’t think Flatseal is that useful for the majority of users, no. But it is a good tool to have in mind when the need arises.
minus-squareOutwit1294@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 hours agoWhy do you think it is not useful? I replaced Firefox system package with Flatpak because I think browser is the most used and vulnerable thing in my system. And the size seemed reasonable. I did not replace Thunderbird because its size is almost 10 times.
