## Setup Tutorial

### Libadwaita applications
No additional setup is required for native Libadwaita applications.

For Flatpak Libadwaita applications, you need to override their permissions:
- Run `sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0` or
- Use [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal) and adding `xdg-config/gtk-4.0` to **Other files** in the **Filesystem** section of **All Applications**

### Vanilla GTK 4 applications
Use [this guide](https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3/blob/main/gtk4.md) to theme vanilla GTK 4 applications.

### GTK 3 applications
- Install and apply the [adw-gtk3](https://github.com/lassekongo83/adw-gtk3#readme) theme (don't forget to install the Flatpak package!)
- For Flatpak applications, you need to override their permissions:
  - Run `sudo flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0` or
  - Use [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal) and adding `xdg-config/gtk-3.0` to **Other files** in the **Filesystem** section of **All Applications**
