Theme issue #298

Open JoseHidalgo opened 3 months ago

JoseHidalgo commented 3 months ago

Hi. I have Win 11 with the default Dark theme. However I'm using Altus with its Light theme. So "Light" is selected in Altus settings.

Since 5.0.2 (but maybe the issue existed before), and now with latest version 5.1.0, I'm experiencing this weird behaviour: From time to time (maybe once a week or so), Altus will suddenly switch its theme to Dark. I mean only from a visual point of view. If I go into the settings, it's still set to Light.

This doesn't happen while Altus window is open. It happens while Altus is minimized. That means when I get it out of its minimized state (to check my messages, etc), I notice that its theme has switched to Dark, all on its own.


Restarting Altus without touching its settings doesn't change anything.

Switching Altus to Dark, then to Light again, without restarting Altus, doesn't change anything.

However, this works:


This behaviour may be related to other apps or Win 11 interfering with Altus, I don't know. Maybe there's a way for Altus to check its settings more often and make sure that the displayed theme matches its settings?

Thanks!

I should add that this also happens after a reboot: Theme is set to Light, but Altus launches with Dark. So I have to set it to Dark, then set it to Light again, and then it works.

This picture is right after launching, without touching any settings. Altus' theme is set to Light, but as you can see the UI is Dark.
