Hello Jacinth Samuel, Good to see you again with NixOS review. Please make more video on nixos.

1. Install a package breeze-gtk
2. Homemanager home.session variable set as GTK_THEME="Breeze-Dark";
3. Home manager do the below change
xdg.gtk={
enable=true;
theme.name="Breeze-Dark";
iconTheme = {
name = "Breeze-Dark";
};
cursorTheme = {
name = "Breeze_Cursor";
};
gtk2.extraConfig = {
Settings = ''
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
'';
};
gtk3.extraConfig = {
Settings = ''
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
'';
};
gtk4.extraConfig = {
Settings = ''
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
'';
};
};
4. If you have any folder under ~/.config with gtk2 ,gtk3 and gtk4 . Please delete that.
5. If you want keep up those folder in point-4 make sure it has below setting in ini file . You delete other files.
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
gtk-theme-name=Breeze-Dark
gtk-icon-theme-name=breeze-dark
Note: These ini file in ~/.config can be modified by other desktop like kde. if the dark mode is not selected there. So this can be one of the reason you are getting theme reverted
5. Restart your machine
