If you want to use Orchis as your GDM theme, use set-gdm-theme tool from gdm-tools to set your theme. It does not have that problem (I just fixed it today).

I've used this with Arch running Gnome 41 and Ubuntu 21.10 running Gnome 40. No problem on neither of them. You can change the background and set a gnome shell theme.

I have written https://taoofmac.com for the last 20 years, and have spent the last year progressively using GNOME and Fedora more and more.
I use the WhiteSur GTK theme (https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) so that I don't have to decipher the nuances of the standard GNOME iconography (some of it is... well, not as pretty, and definitely not as intuitive).
I love this setup, but if GNOME decides to keep breaking user themes, I will have to look elsewhere (most likely a different Fedora spin, although definitely not KDE).

Thank you, I am looking for stylepak. Moreover I corrected the spelling error in the post! with "--flatpak" option I was referring to the Readme of the WhiteSur gtk theme, but actually looking into the install.sh there is no option for it.
