The behavior of the Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor can be controlled by the user via icons on the toolbar:
"Toggle Autoscroll"
"Toggle Timestamp"
"Clear Output"
The first two of these are toggles, where they alternate between an enabled and a disabled state on each click.
The current state of those two controls is indicated by coloration, most prominently by the background color (the foreground color does change, but almost imperceptibly).
π When using the "Dark (Theia)" or "Light (Theia)" themes in the Arduino IDE, the background color of the icon no longer changes to indicate its state.
Icons enabled and disabled coloration with "Dark (Theia)" theme in Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc6-snapshot-b8c718c:
(note the gray background of the "Toggle Autoscroll" indicates it is enabled, while the black background of "Toggle Timestamp" indicates it is disabled)
Icons enabled and disabled coloration with "Dark (Theia)" theme in Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc7:
(note the "Toggle Autoscroll" icon has a black background even though it is enabled)
To reproduce
Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
Select "Dark (Theia)" from the "Theme" menu.
Click the OK button.
Select Tools > Serial Monitor from the Arduino IDE menus to open the "Serial Monitor" view, if it is not already open.
Click on the "Toggle Autoscroll" and "Toggle Timestamp" toolbar icons.
π The background color does not change.
Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
Select "Light (Theia)" from the "Theme" menu.
Click the OK button.
Click on the "Toggle Autoscroll" and "Toggle Timestamp" toolbar icons.
π The background color does not change.
Expected behavior
Serial Monitor control icon background color reflects the state.
