So Monophony was playing up. By that I mean the font and Icon set was different. So I entered
sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=Breeze
In the terminal and now all my flatpak apps have switched to the Adwaita theme and icon set.
Is there a way I can reset the theme override somehow or do I have to do a complex process or reinstall Flatpak purging the config files? Thanks.
This command tries to replace the flatpak theme with Breeze. But do you have Breeze theme (KDE) installed?
You can run the same override command for a different GTK theme that you do have. For example:
sudo flatpak override --env=GTK_THEME=ZorinGrey-Dark
You can revert all changes with:
sudo flatpak override --reset

Flatpak is a bit limited in what it can access, but you can use your preferred custom GTK theme on Zorin OS 15 or Zorin OS 16 flatpaks.
There are a couple of caveats.
The theme in question must be located in your Home .themes directory. Flatpak is utterly blocked, by design, from accessing /usr/share/themes
The theme will not change when you use your Themes or Settings manager to switch themes. You must manually use CLI to go in... and change it, too.

That seems to fix the theme, however, I still get the initial issue (Font and icon not matching system).
Oh yes, and thanks for the command.
Have you tried the full directions here:

If that is not working, you can try using Flatseal
to give Flatpak access to system themes.
Hmm... I can't see anything that says 'system themes' on Flatseal. Also I want the icon and font rather than the theme.
Also I want to copy the icon pack I want into my home folder, except most of the files in the folder are symbolic links, which the filesystem can't handle when performing file operations.
Mmm-Hmm... Maybe it's a KDE thing... restarting the computer seemed to fix the whole thing. Thanks for trying to help though.
And I've marked your first post as the solution as that fixes the Adwaita override.
I wonder if @swarfendor437 or @337harvey may have better advice.
My answers here assume a user is on Zorin OS with a standard Zorin Desktop.
If you are on KDE, which does include Breeze, someone more familiar with the Plasma Desktop may be more helpful.

I don't use Plasma anymore because it relies on systemd or remnants of systemd.
