1729885 - Theme switching from the OS not respected

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Theme, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

Hey,

I have Manjaro Linux on to which Thunderbird 91.1.0 just arrived. When changing themes from the OS (between dark and light), the switch is not respected within Thunderbird. In 78.x (the latest before 91), the system theme that's enabled, respected the theme change from the OS properly.

Actual results:

When I changed from dark to light and vice versa, everything within thunderbird stayed the same.

Expected results:

When switching theme on behalf of the OS, Thunderbird should follow suit with using its enabled "System theme" option.

I believe this is being worked on in mozilla-central (if it didn't already land). The recent renaming adding ( - Auto) would imply it landed...

Richard, do you know the status of it?

I have never seen an issue with the theme switching also on TB 91.
