`colors.webpage.preferred_color_scheme` ain't working about qutebrowser HOT 2 CLOSED

The auto setting is handled by the underlying QtWebEngine/Chromium, not qutebrowser itself.

I'm assuming you're on Windows from you mentioning qutebrowser.exe? It looks like this is already fixed in Qt 6.7 from a quick test - I can only reproduce with Qt 6.6. qutebrowser v3.2.0 with Qt 6.7 should be released once the issue in #8175 is fixed.

it opens with duck duck go light theme - despite system being in dark mode

:set colors.webpage.preferred_color_scheme
" see it's set to auto

:set colors.webpage.preferred_color_scheme auto
:restart
" explicitly set it to auto, still no change

:set colors.webpage.preferred_color_scheme dark
:restart
" explicitly set to dark, webpage succesfully loads in a dark theeme
