Much love brother, that was such an incredibly kind gesture to post that to me, and even registering for it, that I cannot even begin to express how much that means to me, and how honestly blindsided your post made me. It really takes a special kinda person to go out of there way to make other people happy and feel good about themselves, sometimes not always that easy, so please understand how gratefull and touched I am of your posting, truly made my day my friend, thank you so much!

I'll be sharing this issue and solution with anyone who might encounter it. I use Windows 11 and I've been trying to set up the basic dark mode for Deluge, but nothing was working. After running Deluge in debug mode (deluge-debug.exe) I saw the following warning:

Code: Select all

(deluge:9584): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:21:14.116: Failed to parse C:\Program Files\Deluge\share\gtk-3.0\settings.ini: Key file contains line ???[?S?e?t?t?i?n?g?s?]?\u000d?? which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment
Turns out that I have followed every step in this thread correctly, and the problem basically was that my .ini file was in UTF-16 LE BOM encoding and it could not be read properly (probably related to the way I created the file). After replacing the old settings.ini (at C:\Program Files\Deluge\share\gtk-3.0\settings.ini) with a new one encoded in UTF-8 without BOM (utf8) and restarting the program, it succesfully changed to the dark theme.

Very specific for my case, the debug executable was extremely useful and could help for any future problem I might encounter.

Thank you! The answers you provided to configure the theme for this version of Deluge were very helpful.

For people wanting a black theme, id just recommend the builtin adwaita-dark, as used in many apps and so has some testing and development behind in general to look right, though not sure how looks in deluge generally, but regardless. Sorry couldn't help you as said.
Hi !

I just realized that I was on an old version of Deluge. I've just installed the latest version 2.1.1 on windows 11, and I'd like to know what's the easiest way to get a dark theme, an integrated version if possible?

Please follow the paragraph further down starting with "Btw" from here: viewtopic.php?p=235341#p235341

(Need make the gtk-3.0 folder yourself if remember right, and forget later GTK_CSD related info)
