Bug description

Hello everyone! Why the mixed theme and the light theme have the same name? i think it's a bug, it causes me troubles when making my app

cmd = ['gsettings', 'get', 'org.cinnamon.desktop.interface', 'gtk-theme']
        result = subprocess.run(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

        # Get the theme name and convert to lowercase
        theme = result.stdout.strip().lower()

both the light and mixed one output [code]'mint-y-aqua'[/code] except the dark theme which does good 'mint-y-dark-aqua'

Steps to reproduce

cmd = ['gsettings', 'get', 'org.cinnamon.desktop.interface', 'gtk-theme']
        result = subprocess.run(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

        # Get the theme name and convert to lowercase
        theme = result.stdout.strip().lower()

Expected behavior

Mixed theme should output 'mint-y-mixed-aqua'

Additional information

No response

This isn't a bug. There are no themes name -mixed. This is just a combination of light and dark themes and the dark mode set to "Let application decide". So you will get a mix of light and dark applications.

If that the case, how to differentiate between them.

Or just how to know the user selected the "mixed" option?

Get the current theme name

theme_cmd = ["gsettings", "get", "org.cinnamon.theme", "name"]
theme_result = subprocess.run(theme_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

if theme_result.returncode != 0:
    return "dark"  

theme_name = theme_result.stdout.strip().replace("'", "")  # Remove any single quotes

# Construct the path to the theme's CSS file
theme_path = f"/usr/share/themes/{theme_name}/cinnamon/cinnamon.css"

# Run grep command to check for the dark mode color
cmd = ["grep", "-i", "background-color: *#2f2f2f", theme_path]
result = subprocess.run(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

# Get the output of the grep command
theme_check = result.stdout.strip().lower()

# Check if the grep command returned any result
if not theme_check:
    return "light"
else:
    return "dark"
