Just as an explanation: when setting up apps in custom prefixes that ship their own themes ("bundles" like in osx etc) you normally want to export an env var instead of the hardcoded /etc, but at the same time you do not want to use XDG_CONFIG_HOME since the bundled dir may be readonly and you do not want to save the app's own settings in the bundle dir
