No themes in new installation

I just found out about digiKam and installed the latest version 7.2 on Windows 10. After install the program loads up in a light theme and not the dark theme shown on the official website. I looked into settings and the documentations but it seems there’s no dark theme on my fresh installation.

I looked into the themes folder and found 10 files there but they are not being loaded by the program.

A similar question here digiKam 7.2.0 is released - #10 by Beat_Bucher
But mine is a fresh new installation.

How do I fix this? How to get the dark theme? TIA

Hey, I had the same issue and finally figured it out - you just need to change widget style to “Fusion” in Settings->Appearance. I had “Windowsvista” set by default, after changing to “Fusion” you will see list of themes. Hope this helps! :slightly_smiling_face:

Finally dark theme!! Thank you so much!! :smiley:
Both “windows” and “fusion” load the theme files, only the default “windowsvista” doesn’t load them.
I actually changed them around before but didn’t check the Themes menu after changing… facepalm… :sweat:
