Description

Describe the bug
When App theme is set to "Daytime" theme and the app is open while the time changes to after 6pm, the text becomes unreadable because the text color is changed to white (according to the time rules of the theme) while the background has not been updated to be dark.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open app before 6pm
  2. Set app theme to "Daytime" theme
  3. Close app settings
  4. Keep app open until it is after 6pm
  5. Click on any directory
  6. The text is unreadable

Expected behavior
Either the background is also updated when it is 6pm or the text should also stay black and only change to white when the background is updated.

Screenshots
(the clicking seems very glitchy in the video because of the screenrecording)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android 13 with the Daytime theme, leaving the app open across the 6pm transition. Trace the time-based theme update and compare the text and background changes when opening a directory. Done means the app remains readable after the transition, with the chosen theme behavior verified manually.
