GNOME extension GSConnect does not adhere to system (dark) theme (GNOME 46)

This is a follow-up of this topic, because I could not reply here, as it was locked:

System Theme Not Recognized for GSConnect Setting Window (Dark Mode)

I had come across a problem with the GSConnect shell extension, wherein it’s settings window does not follow the system dark mode. I have reported the issue on their GitHub page. While troubleshooting with a contributor, they showed me a way to change it temporarily through the GTK Inspector. It does not maintain on reopening the settings window. However, they faced the opposite issue, wherein they couldn’t change to light mode. Paraphrasing from their last comment: Now we just need to figure…

The issue is still apparent, however, as I’ve commented in the “downstream” project issue.

The issue is, the workaround using GNOME Tweaks, as suggested there, does not work anymore:

In GNOME Tweaks, I only have “Adwaita” selectable in the list (for “legacy applications”), but not anything like “dark” (just high contrast themes):

Using Fedora (Silverblue) 40 / GNOME 46. And GSConnect 57.

The gnome-themes-extra package provides the Adwaita-dark theme, looks like you don’t have that installed.

sudo dnf install gnome-themes-extra

Actually, you’re on Silverblue, so… however you’d do the equivalent.

Yeah it’s just rpm-ostree install gnome-themes-extra then.

And yes, BTW, then I can confirm the previous workaround works.
