        How can I change the theme of UBports. I would appreciate an ambience management like in Sailfish OS. Is the solution, that I have found in another thread the only one?

        Hi, I tried dark theme on my OPO by editing ~/.config/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/theme.ini (changed Ambiance with SuruDark).

        I didn't found this option in the Tweak App. A SuruDark mode sounds good. I think, I would prefer it, in surroundings with less light.

          There aren't any themes to change to really. There are only Ambiance (which is the default style), and SuruDark (which is an incomplete dark theme). Many apps may break if you change the theme to SuruDark.

            @marc_aurel yes expect some apps to break. For me approximately 10 of 40 did either not respect the theme that was set or "broke"... maybe half and half... (and only talking about non-webapps here)
            If you want to check out the current state easily you can find a suitable UTTT "prerelease click" here: https://canary.gitlab.com/myii/ut-tweak-tool/-/jobs/132461172/artifacts/file/build/ut-tweak-tool.sverzegnassi_0.4.8-rc.1_armhf.click
            Thanks to @myii who kindly took over the maintainership of UTTT and pushing it forward! 👍

              Yeah unfortunately SuruDark was not pushed enough so app developers didn't care to support it.

                @hummlbach You're welcome.

                The theme switcher is now available in v0.4.8 so no longer need to manually install the .click. Here's hoping that SuruDark gets more love over time.
