No, Debian never had a custom preinstalled theme afaik
I’m not aware of any distro who kept their custom themes after this letter was published. ZorinOS still has some theming, but it looks like they only slightly changed some colors (where the previous one was rather invasive)
Gnome apps have themed decorations and vanilla content. It’s misaligned and it doesn’t look good, but it’s rather safe functionnality-wise. Also there’s no ~/.config/gtk-4 so I don’t know how they did it
A lot of other apps are clearly themed, but they are not maintained by signatories of the letter (that I know of)
The only offenders I could find are file-roller and gnome-disk, with gnome-disk having a very small theming issue. They use the same config file as all the apps that want to be themed, so they would have to patch them in order to prevent the theme from applying. Which would prevent user theming and generally be a mess.
can you link the letter?
