Stays active after removal/disabling

[RobinJ1995]

I upgraded to Fedora 41/Gnome 47.

This extension is not available on Gnome 47, as such it was disabled and I can no longer change its settings.

This would be fine, as Gnome 47 includes support for accent colours itself. Except my settings set by the plugin remain active, and I have no more way of undoing them as the plugin is disabled and cannot be re-enabled (due to Gnome version incompatibility).

You can see how despite yellow being selected in the native Gnome settings, some UI elements still show up with a green accent colour which is what I had set using this extension before.

hey @RobinJ1995, if you encounter such an error, you can manually remove the gtk.css files from ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and change the shell theme back to default in gnome tweaks :)

For those who ended up here looking for a solution, this is what I figured out by looking at the extension code:

To undo Gtk theming

extension.js#L139 shows that the extension creates files ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css.

Verify that both only contain 2 lines starting with @define-color, and if so delete these files.

To undo Gnome Shell theming

extension.js#L176 shows the extension modifies a Gnome Shell theme called Custom-Accent-Colors.

Using a tool like Gnome Tweaks, change the shell theme away from Custom-Accent-Colors.

To undo Flatpak theming

extension.js#L164 shows us exactly which command to run;

flatpak override --user --nofilesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0 --nofilesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0
