 # Decisions
 
+## 2026-04-06 – Restore explicit gtk-theme in moongreet config
+
+- **Who**: ClaudeCode, Dom
+- **Why**: GTK4 under greetd does not reliably read `/etc/xdg/gtk-4.0/settings.ini` — likely requires a settings daemon that doesn't run in the greeter session. moongreet fell back to Adwaita/Colloid-default (blue accent) instead of Colloid-Grey-Dark-Catppuccin.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Reverts `094878f` ("Remove gtk-theme from app config, use system-wide GTK settings instead"). Duplicates the theme name between settings.ini and moongreet.toml, but the explicit set via `set_gtk_theme_name()` is the only reliable path in a greetd context.
+- **How**: Added `gtk-theme = "Colloid-Grey-Dark-Catppuccin"` to example config and deployed `/etc/moongreet/moongreet.toml`.
