Make Roon Remote follow System Theme

Good morning

I think this has been brought up before, but why doesn’t Roon Remote offer the possibility to follow the System Theme under the Theme option on setup (on every platform: Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS).

ARC already does this on mobile (light, dark and system theme options), but even there, Roon Remote only offers the light and dark themes.

Is this so difficult to implement? Is there something that doesn’t allow it?

Thanks.

See Simpler Light/Dark Theme Switch - it would be advisable to add your vote for that Feature Request.

Already added my vote, but why isn’t this implemented on Roon (only ARC)? Any specific reason?

Thanks in advance.

I think it’s because they use very different development frameworks for each…Roon desktop software is implemented using the Microsoft .NET 6 framework (on both Windows and macOS) and the framework used for ARC is purportedly Flutter (coded in Dart). Flutter apparently has native support for OS themes, whereas that is ostensibly more challenging in the .NET 6 framework for the Roon team at the current time.
