Summary0008975: Themes and Icons revert after every starts aka boot
Description

After updating to Kali Linux 2024.3, my custom themes and icons revert to the default GNOME theme every time I reboot. I have already moved my themes and icons to the system-wide directories (/usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons) and applied them using GNOME Tweaks. They work until I restart, but then they reset to the defaults. Additionally, I don't see the Interface option in GNOME Tweaks or in dconf.

What might be causing this, and how can I make my custom settings persist across reboots? Any help would be appreciated!"
can anyone help me to fix this issue

It's an odd issue. We can try to test if the issue is caused by any configuration in the user's directory or if there's an issue with any gnome or kali-themes package.
Try creating a new user with sudo adduser {username}, then login to that new user and change the settings there. Are they still being reverted after reboot?

Oh, know I see what happens. That's my fault sorry.
I modified gnome so that when you change the theme (and also when gnome-shell restarts, that's the main cause of the issue), it sets all the themes to match the new color. So it overwrites the custom themes :(
Thanks for your report, I'll fix this ASAP

Do not complain about how long it takes to fix a bug. Remember: the developers are volunteers with day jobs, which are not fixing your bugs for you.
