### Fix for libadwaita (not perfect)

<details> <summary> Details <b>(click to open)</b> </summary>

  Since the release of `Gnome 43.0`, more and more built-in apps use `libadwaita` now, and libadwaita does not support custom themes, which means we cannot change the appearance of app using libadwaita through `gnome-tweaks` or `dconf-editor`. For users who love custom themes, it’s really sucks!

  Anyway if anybody who still want to custom themes we can only do this way:

  that is to use the `theme file` to overwrite the `gtk-4.0 configuration file`. The result is that only Fixed making all gtk4 apps use one theme and cannot be switched (even can not switch to dark mode) If you want to change a theme, you can only re-overwrite the `gtk-4.0 configuration file` with a new theme, I know this method is not perfect, But at the moment it is only possible to continue using themes for libadwaita's apps ...

</details>

Run this command to install `WhiteSur` into `gtk-4.0 configuration folder` ($HOME/.config/gtk-4.0)

```bash
./install.sh -l                # Default is the normal dark theme
./install.sh -l -c Light       # install light theme for libadwaita
```

### Connect WhiteSur theme to Flatpak (Snap not support)
Parameter: `--flatpak` `-F`

Example: `./tweaks.sh -F`

Fix for Flatpak gtk-4.0 app:

```bash
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0
```
