Description
Simplenote theme changes with the OS theme.
That's why if I select the theme of the Simplenote to light and then I select the theme of the OS to Dark, then the Simplenote will also be Dark!
I always want to set the Simplenote theme to light.
Please add "Auto" Theme. (like below picture)

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Compare the existing theme setting with the PWA behavior referenced in the issue, then trace how the desktop app reads the OS theme. Done means an Auto/System option follows the OS theme while Light remains fixed regardless of OS changes.
