Problem with theme after upgrading Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10

Question

After upgrading Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 the dark theme stopped working for GTK4 apps. Nautilus, settings etc. have default light theme no matter what I change.

When i change dark/light theme in settings>appearance, older apps change appearance but not the new ones

What I tried:

Changing theme with gnome tweaks same behavior
I did restart X11 session after changes and it did not solve the problem.
I tried to reinstall user themes extension
I tried to reinstall gnome tweaks

I will provide you with any logs but i have no idea how to debug broken gtk4 theme.

I had a similar issue, because I used a custom theme in Ubuntu 22.04. To solve the issue for Nautilus I just removed the folder ~/.config/gtk-4.0

But I still have theming issues with the Gnome Shell (top panel).

Thank you very much, that solved my issue! Shell theme also doesn't change for me, but i am able to change it through tweaks. – Stsh4lson Oct 25 '22 at 06:13
I could solve my Gnome Shell issue by reinstalling the Yaru theme. – Martin R. Oct 26 '22 at 08:22
Delete the folder ~/.config/gtk-4.0, did not work? The theme does not change, its still Nautilus default theme. – nightraven Nov 27 '22 at 08:39
