I was using it for a while. Not anymore.

It does exactly what it says on the box. However, GUI applications
installed in flatpak will completely ignore your desktop settings.
flatpak comes with its own gtk/qt/gnome/kde libraries and its own
completely separate settings for the desktop environment.

This is why I'm not using it anymore. GUI apps look like ass.

That's weird; they look fine for me [1,2]. As yo say, they have different configurations (every application runs in an individual container), but the both look normal.

Regards.
