On QogirBudgie theme and several others I get this:

While for example on Arc theme I get this:

You have the snap version of gnome-software installed.

It’s a well known and annoying bug with the snap … it only works with a few themes in the gtk common theme snap

We are waiting for the rollout of theme support for snaps which is due soon ish.

In the interim you can remove the snap and install the gnome-software package

Or…

If your theme of choice is available as a snap, you can « connect » it to the snap-version of software app.

> **[Install Qogir Themes for Snaps on Linux | Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/qogir-themes)**
>
> Get the latest version of Qogir Themes for Snaps for Linux - Qogir GTK and Icon Themes for GTK Snaps

and after installing this ↑ you open a terminal and :

```auto
sudo snap connect snapstore:gtk-3-themes qogir-themes:gtk-3-themes

```

…maybe it’s not _snapstore_ but _gnome-software_, see what fits with :  
`snap list`

> Hi, if your gtk theme and icon sets of choice are available as snap, then you can apply them to all your snap app’s at once. Example here is with Adapta gtk I use a lot. And papirus icons.
