Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
On Fedora there is option to follow system light/dark theme (so when I changed it system-wide, MuseScore changed it's theme accordingly). But few days ago I moved to Ubuntu and now I don't see that it. Is it disabled on Ubuntu, or am I missing something?
