In comparison, this is a screenshot of the same full-screen image, taken from Vivaldi running on an Xfce VM that's fully updated, the same as the image above.
I was able to reproduce this on a fresh XFCE 4.5 RC5 installation on a VMM VM. There was no customization. The problem is confirmed and is specific to XFCE.
Confirmed that Vivaldi displays a white background on pages. In contrast, Firefox displays a dark background. This was true for other pages as well, such as duckduckgo.com.
In contrast, both Firefox and Vivaldi display these pages with a dark background / theme as expected for me on Plasma unstable. Tested on a fresh Budgie VM with 4.5 RC5, also using the default theme (which is dark), it displays pages correctly with a dark background.
I've discovered that switching to another theme and then back to Qogir-Dark makes Vivaldi correctly use dark mode on websites. This leads me to believe that there is a setting somewhere that we're not setting by default, but should be. I asked in the XFCE Matrix channel about what it might be, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.
Summary
This is the theme that I'm using. I think it's the default, because I don't remember choosing it, but it's what I would have chosen regardless. My eyes are rather ensitive to bright light.![image](https://github.com/getsolus/packages/assets/6805994/06d0d5f6-78a6-48ea-ad40-e55fb409e65f)
The theme apparently applies to the applications that are part of the Xfce DE, but not to one that I installed from the repository--in particular, Vivaldi. Opening any of the many sites that it hosts provides a painful blast of white light.![image](https://github.com/getsolus/packages/assets/6805994/ff4912f3-9d56-4140-a4c0-d894d84d1707)
Steps to reproduce
Just launch Vivaldi (on hardware) and you should notice right away that it is not using any kind of dark theme.
Expected result
I expected web pages to be displayed in a dark theme, as they are on a fully-updated Xfce RC2 VM that runs on my daily-driver laptop. (See similar image in comment below.)
Actual result
This should be dark as well (Xfce on bare metal) but it's apparently unaffected by the theme. I have no idea why the hardware version differs from the virtual version, but as I pointed out, it's painful to look at.
