It seems like the dark theme settings are not global?
Budgie 10.6

Look at the dark and dark compact materia gtk theme in the software center
sangheeta Ok that's the trick. Thank you1
Yeah, they're split into separate packages for... some reason...
For anyone curious, here is what the desktop looks like with Materia:
is there a way to install 10.6 without going full unstable? like sudo eopkg url x 7 ? or would there be unmet dependencies this way?
GZGavinZhao Aren't there any "Raven's" in China? 
EbonJaeger The padding issue has been reported, but it looks like a theme issue and Plata appears to no longer be maintained.
That's disapointing. I got used to Plata-Noir and end up liking it very much.
algent Lol I actually can't find one. Is this a word that only Budgie uses?

EbonJaeger it looks like a theme issue and Plata appears to no longer be maintained.
I've noticed, testing other Budgie implementations (e.g. Ubuntu Budgie) in VM's, that Plata-Noir is no longer offered as an option (e.g. Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 offers the Plata-Noir theme but Ubuntu Budgie 21.10 does not). Available Ubuntu Budgie 21.10 themes (e.g. Pocillo) seem washed out in comparison to Plata-Noir.
I did not realize that Plata-Noir was no longer maintained. The Budgie project will have to do the best it can with available themes, I guess, but it is sad news to be losing Plata-Noir.

What about translation?
Because I only have the desktop right clic for settings that is still in english for now.
Also the shadow under panel (transparent here) is not there:
GZGavinZhao the latest branding package update now also depends on the Materia dark theme, so this should no longer be an issue for people going forward.
Hi, I just got the update to budgie 10.6. I found a problem with icon task list applet, if "restrict to workspace" is toggled on, every time I launch application the icon doesn't show up on the panel. Anybody has the same problem?
PS: Materia-Dark is OK after all 
yes, me too.

EbonJaeger The Budgie project did a good job of implementing the Materia dark theme and Budgie 10.6 in general. I adjusted font size to adapt the screens to my aging eyes, but otherwise the transition is painless, and the elegance, simplicity and intuitive nature of Budgie has been preserved. Congratulations and thanks to you and the other members of the Budgie project.
smooth update here.
thanks to all involved

alfisya PS: Materia-Dark is OK after all
I think that's an understatement. I've never been able to enjoy using any dark theme, so far, until this one. Usually I find them harder on my eyes, so I just use a light theme and turn the screen brightness down a bit.
But Materia-Dark is somehow different. It still makes it easy to distinguish the various parts of a client area with judicious use of shades of gray. It's just better than dark themes I've tried before, and very usable, IMHO.
I'm writing this post from my Budgie VM, and I intend to spend the day here, to get a really good feeling for Budgie 10.6.
EDIT: Wow! Text scaline is no longer just 100% or 200%. Having set it to 125% I can now clearly read all text on my 1920x1080 laptop screen (like, for example, here in the forum). That's one of the two reasons I use Plasma instead of Budgie on my daily driver laptop and the media machine that drives our TV. (I should say, that was one of the two reasons. That one doesn't exist anymore.)
Meh, not a fan of Materia theme, it looks like yet another gray theme.
I prefer dark/black Panel and dark/black header-bars, not gray.
I will continue to use Plata-Noir theme till the end even tho notifications now look bad.
I always like these cool, slick Budgie dialogs:
