I haven't used gnome in a while and decided to check it out again. I noticed that even though I've set the theme to dark apps like nautilus and gnome-control-center are always light-themed. Is that their intended behavior? If not, any ideas on what's wrong?

gtk3 apps need the old themeing from the tweaks app. The new option in settings only applies to gtk4 apps. Or something like that. So the theme option not affecting some apps is expected. You have to change to dark in the Tweaks app as well for backward compatibility.

I use Night Theme Switcher which handles everything: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2236/night-theme-switcher/

Are those apps installed as Flatpaks ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No they are official arch linux packages. There are no flatpak or snap packages on this system. The only AUR packages that could influence appearance on this system are the adwaita-qt* packages, but these should have no effect at all on gnome apps.

If this is not a known issue, I guess I might have outdated options in config files or the dconf database. I'll do a cleanup and see if it fixes it.
