Hi all.. I just have a question about Pamac..it seems that it uses gtk4 so systemwide theme dosent apply on it. I use adapta nokto theme and red somewhere that Pamac QT is one which uses custom theme..Is Pamac QT safe for updates as default one? And is it possible to set Pamac QT as default software/system updater?
pamac-gtk3 can be themed and guess what it uses gtk3.
You mean QT, but is there a way to theme default one, which ships with manjaro?
There is only pamac-gtk and pamac-gtk3 to choose from, as far as I know.

They stopped development so it’s not available any more.

Ok thanks..ill figure something out..Or just leave it with its libadwaita theme
AFAIK, if you’re using gnome then it’s best to use the gtk4 version, otherwise it’s generally best to use the gtk3 version (the theming fits better with most DEs).
I don’t use special themes - only Breeze so i’m not sure. What i can say for certain though is that Pamac gtk4 looks like native (on Plasma) and switches between light and dark. On another system i installed the gtk3 version and this looks more outdated to me.
pamac-qt is an abandoned project… for Plasma, the recommendation is now pamac-gtk3.
Well kudos for me i just run some command in order to force adapta nokto theme, and now whole system is showing dark basic theme, even though adapta nokto is selected..is there a way to bring adapta and other themes to work?
You can read my discoveries and considerations here
remembering that i use XFCE so not everything might be compatible.
Recently i managed to force pamac (gtk4) and all other gtk4 apps to use Matcha dark sea with
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Matcha-dark-sea
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
