Attempting to set a theme, running Hyprland WM setting WhiteSur theme. Everything applies correctly but the gtk2 file does not get saved. I do have GTK2_RC_FILES defined, idk if thats meant to break the app but it doesnt respect this env either. There are 0 traces of any gtk2 files created on the system.
By constrast, lxappearence did make them. I recently switched from lxappearance to this, because I was recommended it. Any ideas what might be happening?

Try running in the terminal with the -d argument. Press the "Apply" button, and show me the terminal output.

Do not open the "Preferences" tab. Launch the program and press the "Apply" button while you still have the default "Widgets" tab open.

Hah, I see the issue. The bug is that the ~/.config/gtk-2.0 folder (defined in GTK2_RC_FILES) does not exist, and as a result it cannot create the file ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. Making the directory works and the program correctly operates as intended. That being said, probably a good idea to fix that issue to consider a warning, or automate recursive dir creation.
Edit, notice it also "WARN"s and says can't find icons folder if ~/.icons doesn't exist.

IMO it's user's job to make sure if the path they specify in an env var actually exists.
I replaced the fatal error on output path not found with a warning, so from now it won't stop further program execution:

Edit, notice it also "WARN"s and says can't find icons folder if ~/.icons doesn't exist.
It warns if none of ~/.icons, XDG_DATA_HOME/icons or ~/.local/share/icons exists, because one of above is necessary.
