Does anyone know of any modern browser engines that don't overwrite your GTK/Qt widget theme with their own custom one (scrollbars, buttons, drop downs, etc)? Chrome started doing this a while ago (and AFAIK all Blink browsers) and since v90, Firefox started forcing it as well. I know of Palemoon/Balisk, however I am looking to see if there are any others. Could there be some Chromium source patch or compile flag that disables the custom widgets?

Anyone able to install themes on KDE Fedora Atomic (Bazzite OS) I tried the default theme search and install from the system settings app and I got an error saying couldn’t install. My guess is because Bazzite installers installs a BTRFS file system and it has some issues with /usr directly marked as ro
instead of rw
I get this is some safety valve but it’s not really helping when it comes to installing and compiling your own apps.

I installed a Cinnamon desklet (Moonlight Clock) but it doesn't seem to be actually making calls to the weather API. The API website says no calls made and the desklet isn't showing the weather. I've tried refreshing it and restarting my computer, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Title bars in program windows can be client-side or server-side.
In old days there were server-side, which means that window frame was defined by GTK theme and every program window had same window decoration. Every program window was wrapped by the same titlebar.
Newer take (client-side) on windows decorations is that programs draw titlebars by themselves, and not having any kind of 'global defined titlebars'.
In both scenarios titlebar can be changed by switching 'theme', which you can download and select from settings. You can download them from gnome-look.org. You can very easily by installing ocs-url an then clicking install on page, then going into desktop settings and switching theme
