This theme might be broken
try changing your theme.

also try to clean it with rm -r ~/.config/gtk-4.0

[sidharth-v-s]

It happens on Some themes. Even some that comes with HyDE like Decay Green and Gruvbox retro.

[sidharth-v-s]

Also noticed that this only Happens when wallbash mode set to auto particularly. No problems in when its set to theme.

[kRHYME7]

can you try this ?

rm -r ~/.config/gtk-4.0 ?

[sidharth-v-s]

tried. nothing got fixed :(

[kRHYME7]

Can you list thsoe specific themes? I can't repro

[sidharth-v-s]

Yeah i will do. I also noticed this only happens when the GTK Theme is set to Wallbash-gtk

gtk.mp4

[kRHYME7]

Use this to change themes. nwg look only changes gtk themes.

[sidharth-v-s]

I tried. even i switch themes from one to another its still the same. it happends when this is set

When wallbash mode is set to theme no problems are there. but when its set to auto/dark/light nothing works.

[kRHYME7]

Run satty or pavucontrol in terminal and check for errors

[sidharth-v-s]

aa.mp4

its the same.

[kRHYME7]

I can't repro

mine Works.
