Weird and mixed Gnome window theme

Question

So I had dual DE installed on my Arch distro earlier, hated how the KDE couldn't transfer files at a decent speed and quit for Gnome.

During the period when I had KDE and Gnome on the system, the Gnome session has KDE properties in the window themes and the original Gnome one is just gone. Eventually, I removed both the Gnome and KDE with pacman -Rcns plasma kde-applications amd then pacman -Rcns gnome gnome-extra

After that I rebooted, installed gnome again with pacman -Rcns gnome gnome-extras Some weird things happened to the window. The left one is settings, top right is chromium and bottom right is firefox

You see weird crosses in the window action buttons. Notjust that, command ping also yield 100% package lost, much like this one from this post: Why "ping google.com" returns 100% packet loss if I am experiencing a perfect inte.net connection? But on arch linux this time.

Anyt help to fix these two problems would be appreciated, comment below if you need any more information, and thanks before hand.

Answer 1

First Problem -

This is not a big problem you can go to https://www.gnome-look.org and install a new gtk theme. GTK themes are responsible for window manager themes try installing and changing the default gtk theme from gnome tweaks.

Second Problem -

Try updating the system sudo pacman -Syuu . Need more information about the system but this might help https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199405

Answer 2

try doing an rm -rf ~/.config/*gtk* . This would remove all gtk files essentially resetting the themes back to default
