followSystemTheme not effective anymore since teams v2 - UI stuck in light mode about teams-for-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

This works as intended with the rpm install. I'm running Breeze Dark, and my v2 follows the OS nicely:

PS: I'm on SUSE Tumbleweed, so latest KDE Plasma, KDE Frameworks, QT, etc.

@ChristoSnake I think you're talking about the in-app setting provided by Microsoft. @andreaippo is behind teams-for-linux provided setting.

Interesting...

I am not using the "followSystemTheme" startup option and its default is false, which means by not specifying the option in my config.json my Teams should not follow the system theme. Yet it does exactly that!

I've just switched it using the GUI, and it works as dictated by the in app GUI:

• Dark = dark
• Light = light
• Classic = seems the same as Light
• High contrast = ouch, my poor eyes!
• Follow system theme = immediately follows my (dark) system theme.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I had added that config option when I was still on v1, and hadn't thought that it might be useless (or actually, counterproductive) when moving to v2.

I'll try removing it and will report back.

EDIT:

well, this is weird:

EDIT2:

I did a Quit (clear storage) and it must have done something, because now that part of the settings UI works and is 1:1 with the web counterpart:

OS theme sync also works instantly if I leave it to Follow operating system theme, without the need for the "followSystemTheme": true feature flag

Imma remove it from my config.json, great! :)

I guess that having that flag enabled was breaking things for me on v2. You had it working perfectly because you never set it, and teams v2 must have done something to finally play nice with Linux OS theming, so that the flag isn't needed anymore, and if you had it set (like me) it was actually breaking stuff.

Imma mention this in the configuration documentation.
