Status changed from Fixed to Awaiting confirmation
This was closed in a bulk cleanup before Fluxer V2 without being checked or fixed. It may work now, so it is waiting for someone to confirm whether the bug still happens.

I noticed this happened when I logged into the web app on my phone for the first time, however I didn't change it and when I went back to it again later, it randomly changed to the correct color. There might be some kind of event it's looking for to trigger the sync that doesn't occur right away? Still a bug and I haven't tested if this is true on other devices either.

Oddly enough, it seems to work properly in GNOME 49 now, but a completely separate bug seems to also be affecting the theme settings, one in which this time is to do with KDE Plasma Desktop 6.6.1, but is even worse than this bug.
