Follow default GTK theme?

[orschiro]

Hi all,

I know Telegram Desktop is a Qt app.

Despite that, is there any way I can make it follow my default GTK theme?

I am on Xfce which is a GTK desktop.

In the morning/evening I tend to use a dark GTK theme and during the day, switch to a light theme.

All my apps follow this design which gives me a nice dark/white mode experience.

The only one that doesn't is Telegram. I know it has a built-in dark mode which I can enable. But I need to switch this manually since it's not following my GTK theme.

Related question: is it possible to toggle dark mode using the command-line? Then I could create a script that adjusts Telegram according to my GTK theme.

Thank you! 🎉😄

1. TDesktop supports color themes. You can find some in t.me/themes or make your own.
2. AFAIK, there is no such option to toggle dark mode from command line.

@RadRussianRus thank you for your input. If I recall correctly, the Android version has an auto-night-mode feature. Meaning it switches automatically to a night mode based on time of the day.

Can we achieve the same on Telegram Desktop?

That would be harmful, since will create a conflict with Qt's platformtheme plugins
