Dark Theme in WSL2

Implement a “dark theme” for GUI apps in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2)

To enact a “dark theme” in Ubuntu 22.04, I installed GNOME Tweaks:

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Then I configured the following settings:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.ubuntu color-scheme prefer-dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Yaru-dark
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.ubuntu color-scheme

Graphical apps such as Nautilus and Firefox were then displayed with a “dark theme”.
