### Dark mode
Dark mode is achieved via [Adwaita-Dark theme](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adwaita-dark) and [nwg-look](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-look).
Thunar for example did not go dark until ```nwg-look```, ```xdg-desktop-portal-gnome``` and ```xdg-desktop-portal-gtk``` was installed and configured. nwg-look creates the need gtk configs.
