Currently Timeshift, as it’s running as root, isn’t following the system theme:
A synchronization of the root user’s theme with the local user’s could probably be implemented, or just for this application

We don’t package timeshift ourselves. It’s a package we take over verbatim from Arch. You can however easily remedy the problem as follows… 
sudo cp -RP /home/your-user-name/.config/gtk-3.0 /root/.config/

For Gnome go into Qt5 Settings. You can change all qt based apps there.
I have
kvantum-dark
Wait.. GTK. Derp. I know I made a setting through the GUI to make GTK apps dark..
timeshift is not a qt-based application; it’s gtk3. kvantum has no effect on that. 
In this case, it’s related to the UID. timeshift runs with root privileges, so it uses the root account’s gtk theme.
In my case it is themed, but i am on xfce.

Ok I will just do this
Actually didn’t work
this is what it copied:
@define-color accent_blue #3584e4;
@define-color accent_teal #2190a4;
@define-color accent_green #3a944a;
@define-color accent_yellow #c88800;
@define-color accent_orange #ed5b00;
@define-color accent_red #e62d42;
@define-color accent_pink #d56199;
@define-color accent_purple #9141ac;
@define-color accent_slate #6f8396;
@define-color accent_maia #16a085;
@define-color accent_bg_color @accent_maia;
It’s still using Adwaita light theme with blue accent
XY Problem detected.
How are you launching it?
One should be starting it it via the menu entry or timeshift-launcher from the terminal. Never run timeshift-gtk or any other graphical application with sudo. See Running GUI applications as root - ArchWiki

The menu entry executes timeshift-launcher which runs timeshift-gtk via pkexec from Polkit. Timeshift will use the theme set by the current user.
What is the output of the following?
whoami
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface accent-color
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
My bad, I just realized why it’s happening, I’ve deleted manjaro-gnome-settings so I could delete Papirus and Bibata, which are dependencies, and this seems to have broken Timeshift, since it reverts the settings back to default when you uninstall it. I don’t know which setting exactly it is, but I will keep the package from now on to prevent quirks. It would be nice if those themes weren’t dependencies, though.
Timeshift is not related to anything you mentioned–other than manjaro-gnome-settings depends on adw-gtk-theme. That’s the package you apparently were missing.
