Issue/Bug Description:
when using non default shell theme, pop shell reverts my choice of theme to system default shell theme on session start(restart or login)

Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Select a non default shell theme and logout or restart, pop shell will revert the theme to default

Expected behavior:
Shell theme should be as it was before login/restart

Same problem here. I'm using Manjaro with default theme "Matcha-sea". Once I enable pop-shell extention the shell theme will behaviour like Adwaita Dark.

I think someone else also reported same issue here:
https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/230

[nitinsareen]

Pop Shell Error:
failed to load stylesheet: Error: Argument 'file' (type interface) may not be null.

Well I encountered the same issue and decided to fix it
Just clone the branch for my PR #271 and compile the extension yourself

I've tested this with multiple themes and they all work fine

Temporary Solution:

sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/pop.json

{
    "parentMode": "user",
//    "stylesheetName": "gnome-shell.css",
//    "themeResourceName": "theme/Pop/gnome-shell-theme.gresource",
    "enabledExtensions": [

        "[email protected]",

        "[email protected]"
}

After _turn off_ and _turn on_ user themes in Gnome Tweaks
