How to change the theme of Snap Apps?

I am enjoying the new "snap" applications, but apps installed using this method doesn't seem to be using the system gtk theme I have set.



Some use Adwaita or worse, Raleigh.



How can I have them use the standard Ambience theme I'm using across the whole system?

  • Very good point. I don't think that's possible right now but certainly hope that provision will be made for some sort of customization in the future.

sudo snap remove gnome-calculator gnome-characters gnome-system-monitor gnome-logs
