Theme of GTK4 programs doesn't turn to dark

Currently the themes of all other GTK programs can be modified from the XFCE settings, except for GNOME. Installed baobab, evince, seahorse and gnome-calculator and their theme can not affected by changing theme (to Adwaita-dark for example) in XFCE settings.

Solved this by changing:

# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Adwaita-dark
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark
