I know. Sadly, the app uses a rather non-standard way of composing its GTK-based frontend.
They are not using portals, and they don't have the necessary skillset to make a proper refactoring to modern standards. It's basically a GTK-2 app with the bare minimal pieces of improvement to make it work with GTK-3.
It doesn't need to use portals, the values are communicated regardless of them supporting portals or not. Just the system need to be running the portals.

Actually I was thinking about a different theme option when I said this. The app or the toolkit indeed needs to read the values from settings portal or xsettings daemon.
I'll edit the reason and merge this.
This should not be needed, if you are on Wayland the desktop theme and colour scheme is communicated to the sandbox via portals.
On X11 it is done by xsettings daemons.
