Sync theme with system dynamically

[theonlytechnohead]

Describe the request

It would be great to be able to 'sync' the theme with the system's theme. For example:
Windows Light mode Apps: Arduino (Light) theme
Windows Dark mode Apps: Arduino (Dark) theme

The preferences screen would need an option to enable/disable sync, and separate choices for Light and Dark themes

IntelliJ IDEs have this feature, as such:

Describe the current behavior

A single theme can be chosen at one time.

Arduino IDE version

2.0.0-rc9.2.nightly-20220819

Operating system

Windows, Linux, macOS

Operating system version

Windows 10 64-bit 21H1 (19043)

Additional context

Hi @theonlytechnohead. Thanks for your suggestion.

Something similar was added recently: #1160

This causes the IDE to set the theme preference according to the OS theme on the first run. Since the IDE does not make change to the user's preferences once they have been initialized, you would not have noticed any effect from this change if you were already using the Arduino IDE before the introduction of the feature at ed41b25 or the 2.0.0-rc9 release.

Since I think #1160 adequately covers this requirement, I will close this as resolved.

Since I think #1160 adequately covers this requirement, I will close this as resolved.

@per1234 #1160 only matches the system theme on the program's first launch. Beyond that, the theme will be static until a user changes it, assuming a workbench.colorTheme entry exists in .settings.json.

To sync the theme with the system implies that when the system's theme changes, the program's theme would also change to match. This means this issue concerns more than just the first launch and is probably outside the scope of #1160.

I understand. That is why I said "adequately". The user is responsible for any theme changes they want made after the first run.

We will not invest development resources into dynamic theme changes because there are higher priorities.

I can also see that this issue is very much a "nice to have" rather than a necessity. But at the same time, this project is open source. Even if someone part of Arduino won't end up doing it, it would make more sense to leave it open, mentioning the situation, for someone else looking to contribute to the project rather than closing it and labelling it as declined with other issues that probably won't ever be resolved.

I'll also understand if the answer is no for keeping track of the issue that really needs to be fixed
