I’m willing to share any useful log, just tell me how :blush:

P.S.: Running from terminal I get the following:

(gnome-calculator:15348): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:39:01.539: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:1:0: Failed to import: Error opening file /snap/communitheme/current/share/themes/Communitheme/gtk-3.20/gtk.css: Permission denied
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.avail/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 10: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected
shm_open() failed: Permission denied

P.S. 2: I think this snap came with the standard install, I don’t remember installing it myself. Can this be relevant?

After some research I found some answers:

Tough, if I understood correctly, this should be fixed now. Is this a regression?

Here you can check the attached interfaces:

I just tried the other gnome snaps:

  • gnome-logs
  • gnome-system-monitor
  • gnome-characters

They all have the “transparent” theme :confused: I also tried Gimp and it’s themed correctly, so it might be an issue on those gnome snaps.

Update:
Removing and reinstalling gnome-calculator fixed the theme issue, so it seems to be really related to the fact that those snaps are preinstalled. It might be worth investigating further.

This might have been triggered by an update to gtk-common-themes, which just rolled out yesterday. Not sure why though. Removing and installing triggered disconnect and connect of the interface, that’s probably what fixed.it.
