How can I restore the default ADWAITA theme on Fedora with Gnome?

Asked by TechSphinx42
I recently installed some themes on my Fedora Gnome desktop, and now it seems like I might have broken the default gtk4 theme. I'm currently using Everforest, but if I uninstall it, it looks like there's no gtk4 theme available anymore. Is there a way to completely reset all theme customizations? I'm even considering setting up Fedora in a virtual machine and copying the themes and config directories over.

If you're looking to reset all theme customizations completely, you could reset your Gnome settings to their defaults. Try running the command `dconf reset -f /org/gnome/` in the terminal. This will reset everything in the Gnome settings, including themes. Just remember, it will clear all your customizations!

The default ADWAITA theme is actually built into GTK and can't just be deleted, so you might be dealing with a theme conflict that affects how themes are being read. You won't lose the default theme, so donโ€™t worry about that! You could try clearing your theme settings or resetting Gnome settings completely to see if that resolves your issues.
