What would you like to see?

Hi! Fantastic app, I use it regularly and recommend it to others.

Could we please get a dedicated option in theme selection for Dark in addition to "Default" and "Light"?

Sometimes I have to switch the Windows color theme for a particular app (that I'm almost off of, but I digress), and AnythingLLM doesn't switch back to dark mode again, it switches to "Light" and stays there. With other apps, I can usually select "Light" or "Dark", and they remember/persist their theme regardless of the Windows settings.

I know this is a very corner case situation and veers close to the XKCD "spacebar heating the computer", but it would be a big quality of life improvement for me and I hope not much work. Thanks!

To make sure I understand - by default we do this:

  • is system light mode is set we actually will launch the app in dark/light mode depending on prefernce
  • If you click or save "default" or "light" we will always use that one - regardless of system

You want a way to go back to "system" so it always inherits what your system is at, even if you accidentally set the toggle before? I think that is the issue - at some point you selected a theme and now it is unresponsive to system changes - which is what one would expect "default" to do - when really it means dark mode.

Am I on the mark for what you are asking and the bug/UX issue?

Hi Timothy,

Sorry, I thought I responded by email, but it didn't work.

Thinking on this a bit more, I think a more ideal set of options would be:

Default (or System or Auto) - Matches the OS setting
Dark - Stay in dark mode, ignoring OS
Light - Stay in light mode, ignoring OS

It's a very corner case situation, would be a quality of life boost more than anything.
