Prerequisites
- I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
Checklist to make sure the issue is not on your end
- I have made sure that I do not have multiple versions of the theme installed. Only one version should be installed in either
~/.local/share/themesor/usr/share/themesor~/.themes - The file
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.cssdoes not exist. (If it does, backup and remove it.) - I have logged out and in again.
- Dark theme only. I have enabled adw-gtk3-dark in
gnome-tweaksAND set the appearance to dark ingnome-control-center - The flatpak theme is installed
org.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3andorg.gtk.Gtk3theme.adw-gtk3-dark - The app I'm having an issue with is an actual GTK3 app and is not coded using another toolkit like GTK2, GTK4, QT, etc.
- I have created a new user profile without any modifications except adw-gtk3.
Description
With adw-gtk3 v4.9, Geary's sidebar does not use the correct background color for my theme. Downgrading to 4.8 and restarting Geary fixes the issue.
I am using Gradience v0.4.1 to apply the Catppuccin Mocha Lavender theme.
v4.8 with the correct theme colors:

v4.9 with the incorrect, default Adwaita background color in the sidebar:

OS and version [e.g Fedora 37]
Arch
Adw-gtk3 version. Also specify your installation source. [e.g tar.xz, AUR, git main branch]
4.9/git installed from AUR
GNOME version
44.4
Application name and version (If the issue is with an app.)
Geary v44.1, Gradience v0.4.1
The value for sidebars are now sidebar_bg_color. So add @define-color sidebar_bg_color your_color; to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css or wait for a Gradience update to include support for that.
There's also sidebar_fg_color, sidebar_backdrop_color, and sidebar_shade_color.
@lassekongo83 I'll pass that info along to the Gradience team. Thank you very much!
