Description

Version

v2.7.0

Platform

Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

Set theme to Dark or (if like me you use the system dark theme) to System:

  • open Settings;
  • go to the Advanced tab;
  • set Theme to Dark (or System).

Details

I expect that when I set the theme, as was the case in previous versions, it won’t change every time the system restarts.

Unfortunately, the theme settings aren’t retained, and every time the system restarts, the app’s theme automatically resets to light theme.

Of course, this doesn't affect the proper functioning of the application.
