For a long time, I was convinced that I've set my #Android phone to dark theme. And I kept wondering why app after app doesn't respect that, and I kept setting apps to dark theme explicitly.
Recently, it occurred to me that perhaps the light theme would work better in sunlight (and it does!). After digging up the deeply hidden color theme option, I've discovered… that it was set to automatic, which apparently… is based on wallpaper. Whatever that means. So I've set light mode explicitly, and went to reset all apps to use system theme again, or "automatic".
Well, apparently not all apps actually support using system theme, or do it correctly. For example, for Element, "system theme" actually means automatically switching between light and dark theme based on the clock. Sigh.
