[Feat] Allow the app to detect the system theme (light/dark)

[Aeldit]

Hi, this is more of a feature request than a bug, but would it be possible to synchronize the theme of Deezer with that of the pc (dark/light mode) ? I know of gsettings for that, but I'm not sure if there's an other way.

Hi @Aeldit

I can try to take a look at that. However, due to the universal nature, I can't guarantee there'll be a solution

[josselinonduty]

Good news, if I understand correctly, OS theme detection is handled by electron, so for me it is just usual attribute edition and observation.

In simpler terms, I just shipped a patch

[josselinonduty]

Here is the artifact (appimage, x64) if you want to confirm it is working

https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux/actions/runs/26763625348/artifacts/7335255466
It is an opt-in addition. You can --sync-theme or DZ_SYNC_THEME=yes

Hi, thanks for the fast response !
However it doesn't seem to do anything on my machine, at least on the login screen (for some reason I can't go further because firefox doesn't detect deezer from the appimage, so when I click "Open Deezer Music" it doesn't log me into the app)

Could you try copying the URL that is in the button on Firefox, then use it like this: ./deezer.appimage "deezer://autolog...(the url)"? AppImages are not integrated by default so that's why the callback doesn't work

If you can't, then that's fine. I tested it on my end and it should be working anyway

[Aeldit]

It puts me back to the login screen even with "deezer://autolog...url", but if it works for you then it should work for me too in the flatpak

[josselinonduty]

It will land in next upstream update, so in about a week or two

[Aeldit]

Thanks !

Just released, flatpak coming soon TM
