Considering that `org.freedesktop.appearance.color-scheme` exposes this outside of Qt, even wxWidgets should be able to consume it.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Begin by identifying where the Flatpak application handles desktop appearance settings, then verify the reported KDE color preference against Qt::ColorScheme and org.freedesktop.appearance.color-scheme. Done means the application reflects the configured dark preference instead of remaining Light.
