1 year ago Looks like the login screen is currently fixed to use the light theme in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/johannes/newline-pills/src/settings/watchers/ThemeWatcher.ts#L102 and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/johannes/newline-pills/src/settings/controllers/ThemeController.ts#L33.
It doesn't look overly attractive after commenting these lines though and will likely require some design input.

Steps to reproduce
Server OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Web server: Nginx 1.18 Desktop operating system: Kubuntu 22.04 Web browser: Firefox (latest current version)
I installed Element 1.11.23 on my server and set the default theme to Dark in my config.json (please see attached screenshot) below.
I browsed to to my Element instance at https://matrix.t25b.com.
Outcome
What did you expect?
I expected to see the Element welcome page dark-themed.
What happened instead?
Instead, the Element welcome page was light-themed.
Blinded and dazzled, I fell off my chair.
This is actually a long-standing bug.
For me, the 'default_theme' setting in config.json is meant to apply to the welcome pages of Element, not just the theming of Element once I've logged in.
I want it dark, please. Preferably covered in hot melted chocolate, but at least DARK!
I want darkness from the moment I hit the login / registration / password reset pages.
Please could we finally fix this in the next release?
And thank you so much for your work on Element. 1.11.23 is another great release.
