Not clear on how to change theme on Linux

Thanks for noting the solution! Offhand I'm not sure if this was caused by something on the snap side with being unaware of the system theme, or because it's GTK3 and not GTK4

With the future Pinta 2.2 release we'll be using libadwaita and defaulting to a dark theme

For anyone who finds this prepend:
env GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark

to the .desktop file exec line and it will launch Pinta in dark mode, this works for the Snap version at least

Good idea! Dark theme is pretty popular these days, in the future I think having themeing in an app preferences menu is the best way. Then you don't have to worry about technologies, and can control the quality of the GUI. Thank you for working on Pinta!
