> 1) Remove the System/Light/Dark choice entirely.
The light/dark + system mode are how the appearance has developed in the past.
Originally only a color theme could be used, enhanced later by a second set for
a dark mode, changed into dual color for automatic values.
Point is that all OS can change the colors depending on the time so one gets a
bright look and feel during the day and dark at night. We support this, but
obviously it's not easy to understand that a theme has to ship light and dark
values (or the user changes to the set which is defined in the theme).
The alternative is to ignore the day/night shift if a theme is installed
entirely. Consequently we would have to disable the radio buttons if some other
theme than Automatic is chosen. But in case of Automatic, what if the user
wants to change the background color, for example, in dark mode but not for
light?
Or going even further, we omly color according the System and ship dark and
light themes.

Sounds as clumsy as today, or even more.
