Use OS's Dark Mode preference
-
Yes, Vivaldi can already have dark themes, but it still lacks true support for the built-in dark modes that come included windows, macOS and many linux desktops.
As others have pointed in this thread, it would be great if Vivaldi could automatically switch themes automatically to match the OS theme. This could be an alternative to scheduled themes, or it could simply tell Vivaldi to use certain dark themes when the OS theme is dark and vice versa.

Also Vivaldi could automatically switch to some dark theme when Windows or macOS theme is changed to dark theme. And vice versa when the light theme is applied in the OS. There could be setting for which dark theme is your preferred. Firefox browser and Telegram IM have already implemented this behavior

I feel this request could be generalised to more systems than just MacOS.
For example, on windows 10 the shell allows you to pick a dark or light mode for apps.
Many linux desktops allow you to pick between dark and light modes.
I think this would be best implemented as an alternative to scheduled themes (they would conflict otherwise)

@lonm I was not aware that other OSes had dark modes. However, I'd rather not have it as an alternative. Dark mode is something that is either always on or never; at least that is the case for macOS, unless you download a third-party app that does.
Scheduled themes allow me to still have a light mode no matter the system preference, as Vivaldi's UI is separate from macOS's own UI (with the only exception being when opening a file or choosing a download location, which is what I was addressing on my original request).

Any (official) update on this?
-
Please add new option to the browser to support this.

I use Chrome on Windows 10 for work and I absolutely love the UI elements changing to dark mode. Hope that this feature is implemented once it's included in Chromium.

Vivaldi now has this option as of 2.11
