Description Jared 2025-02-06 21:10:57 UTC
Description:  
I'm currently using KDE Connect on Ubuntu with the GNOME desktop environment. While my system is set to dark mode, KDE Connect's interface does not fully adopt a dark theme. It appears that KDE Connect relies on KDE Plasma's theming and does not integrate well with non-KDE environments.

Steps to Reproduce:  
1. Install KDE Connect on Ubuntu running GNOME.  
2. Enable dark mode in the GNOME system settings.  
3. Launch KDE Connect and observe that parts of the interface remain in a light theme.

Expected Behavior:
KDE Connect should either:
- Integrate seamlessly with the system's dark mode settings, or  
- Provide an in-app option to manually enable a dark theme for users on non-KDE environments.

Environment Details:  
- KDE Connect Version: 23.08.5  (installed via 'sudo apt install kdeconnect')
- Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
- Desktop Environment: GNOME

Enhancing dark mode support would greatly improve the user experience for those using KDE Connect on non-KDE desktops. Thank you for considering this feature request!
