Confirmed the bug is fixed in 23.04. Also I do still have the smooth theme switch animation.

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Changing the "Style" in the "Appearance" section of "Settings" (gnome- control-center), does not update the shell theme. When I select dark mode from settings, Libadwaita apps respond to the changes, but the shell theme and GTK3 applications do not. This has been observed on both Wayland and X11. Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch) | 22.10 Package Version: 1:43~rc-1ubuntu2 What I Expected: Changing the style in settings will affect all the apps that support changing light/dark mode. The shell theme will also respond to the change. What happened instead: Only libadwaita apps are affected by changing the style in Settings. GTK3 apps and the shell theme do not change. When changing to dark mode via the quick settings menu, all the apps change their color scheme appropriately. However, there is not a smooth transition when switching the style from quick settings.
