Hello,

Recently I switched from the default install of geary to the flatpak version. But I noticed that the flatpak version is not displaying with the theme I currenty have. Is there something that could be done?

My understanding is that flatpak’s only support theming if the theme you are using is also a flatpak - and is also installed.

Otherwise it defaults to adwaita.

🤔  
Installing flatpak themes could somehow break the themes of UB?

Break?

No. Flatpak’s just like snaps are isolated from the main system. So you cannot overwrite stuff by installing flatpaks
