When set to System, Flamingo listens for OS-level theme changes and switches automatically. This is useful if you:

  • Use dark mode at night and light mode during the day
  • Follow your OS-wide theme preference
  • Switch themes based on ambient light (on supported systems)

Your theme preference is saved and persists across sessions.
