Description

Changing theme is not very clear due to the shadown applied in the background.

In settings, when I change the theme, I'd like to see it how does it feel to look at the main application UI. However, applied shadow makes it hard to recognize the changes coming from the new theme.

It'd be great to have the shadow completely dropped or partially removed for couple seconds after the theme change to allow users to observe how the main UI will look.

Research direction

Start in the Settings theme-change flow and inspect how the main application UI shadow is applied after a theme change. Done means the shadow is completely or partially removed for a short period so users can clearly observe the new theme in the main UI.
