I want to change the theme in the Falkon browser, but I can't find how to do it - can someone suggest how to do it?
How hard is it not to be lazy and use a browser first and search the internet? 8)

Falkon is using your system Qt theme, so configure that correctly and you are done.
In order to get "Dark mode" as in chromium do as alium mentioned:

Regarding installing that terrible theme from the Falkon store you would need development version of Falkon (which I assume you do not have)
Thank you, of course, for such a harsh answer - I am very glad that you are absolutely not lazy and you know "everything, everything". And, unfortunately, I am not like that and I really don't know many things. But your answer, unfortunately, did not clarify for me "How to remove the dark theme from Falkon?"
But now I do not even want to contact you because you are not "lazy" but arrogant and you can very easily offend anyone who asks you for help with your answer.
Open Falkon and go to Menu > Preferences > Appearance > Themes
The UI is standard Qt5, so configure that correctly. Artix is probably setup with qt5ct so check that out.
This is new information which you did NOT mention before!
But you are still not clear enough. If I am to assume what you mean I would suggest to search for "QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS" in your environment (/etc/environment and whatever-else is setting it up for you) (this is mentioned in reddit link which was provided to you.)
Greetings, there are not many available themes for Falkon, besides the ones provided built-in, and the Tek-Phase and Example Theme (which you can use to make your own theme). Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Themes.
I personally use the "Linux" theme, which as mentioned follows your systems Qt preferences. :)
Best regards.
I have to apologize, but apparently I did not correctly indicate the problem - my entire screen in this browser is dark and I cannot do anything about it. There are absolutely no problems in other browsers.
Changing themes - Linux / Chrome / Windows / Mac only change the border color but not the field itself.
what do you mean dark?
send a screenshot please.
That's what I have
Good joke, Artix forum is using Dark Theme by default.
Can you post screenshot of some light themed website instead?
Ok.
You got the fix in second link in first reply to your question.
Search for "QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS" in your environment and remove it.
Did you do that? I mentioned it 2 times already.
If it is in some file you might need to restart your X (or machine).
For testing purpose run in terminal:
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" falkon -r -p debug
Thanks SGOrava for the tip. I ran this command through the terminal and a new, already light browser appeared. Now I will install all my settings and try to turn off the old one and restart the new version. Hope it works.
all you need to do is go and remove that variable from your environment.
Thanks, but I'm not sure if I know how to do this.
So start by checking /etc/environment if that variable is there
if so run some editor as root (with sudo) and remove it
if it is not there than continue to your user configs.
You mean this variable
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS = - blink-settings = darkMode = 4, darkModeImagePolicy = 2
you found it, great.
AS you see it is configured to enable dark mode.
Just remove the variable and reboot.
In fact, it looks like this in the original file.
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME = gtk
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS = "- blink-settings = darkModeEnabled = true -enable-features = OverlayScrollbar, OverlayScrollbarFlashAfterAnyScrollUpdate, OverlayScrollbarFlashWhenMouseEnter
Should I remove it all?
just comment it in case you wish to reuse the rest of the options.
The comment is "#" character, place it at the start of the line and that line will be ignored.
Like this?
# QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS = "- blink-settings = darkModeEnabled = true -enable-features = OverlayScrollbar, OverlayScrollbarFlashAfterAnyScrollUpdate, OverlayScrollbarFlashWhenMouseEnter"
like that
Or maybe change "true" to "false"?
try it
I restarted the browser but everything remained the same. Maybe you meant to restart the computer?
yeah, reboot your system.
SGOrava,
Thank you so much! Everything worked out.
Bravo!
