~/.config/gtk-4.0

mkdir -p ~/.config/gtk-4.0
cp -r ~/.themes/Brogrammer-GTK/gtk-4.0/assets \
~/.config/gtk-4.0/
cp ~/.themes/Brogrammer-GTK/gtk-4.0/gtk.css \

Allow Flatpak applications to access installed themes:
flatpak override --user \
--filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0 \
--filesystem=home/.themes/For programs run as root, create a symlink so the theme is visible system wide:
sudo ln -s ~/.themes/Brogrammer-GTK /usr/share/themes/Adwaita
