Dark theme keeps reverting to light theme

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu Linux 24.04.3
Webmin version 2.500 + 2.501

Good afternoon.
The updates since 2.500 have broken the theme on webmin. I cannot keep the dark theme loaded. Once I close the window and come back it reverts to the light theme. I have tried setting in the theme settings everything to dark but it keeps reverting without any luck. I have tried using a different browser and cleared cache etc without any luck.

I am not a fan of the light theme, I prefer the dark theme when navigating around - but whatever change has been made has broken the theme settings since 2.500

Have you cleared your browser cache and refreshed the theme since upgrading?

Hey. Yep I have cleared the browser cache no luck. I have found that chrome and Firefox seem to handle it differently - More specifically, Firefox (latest version) keeps reverting the theme back to light theme, whilst chrome keeps the theme across sessions. I don’t personally like Chrome, but if this is the way the design now works I am willing to stick to chrome for that. I don’t use it for anything else.

it should work in Firefox as well, so I would consider it a bug.
I use FireFox but it does seem to have issues with some websites and apps (i.e. Divi 4)

Solution: I have found a solution after a lot of looking around. Appears that Automatic color palette Is the problem. Never saw this option before. Once switching this off I was able to set it to the theme colour I wanted.

If anyone finds the same problem. Goto Theme Configuration and then Automatic color palette and switch to No. It fixes the problem. Seems to only affect Firefox however, I had no problems with Chrome which I really hate saying lol.

Thanks for the heads up! It is a known issue caused by my poor decision on how automatic mode should work.

We’ll fix it in the upcoming minor Webmin 2.502 release!
