Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Element version 1.12.27 on Debian 13 with GNOME, using a dark system theme and the Appearance setting “Match System theme.” Trace the appearance and system-theme handling from that setting; done means the app selects the dark theme when the operating system is dark.
