Theme always leans towards system theme

[cbluth]

i like to run my vscode in dark theme, and my drawio extension in light mode, this allows me to have a sense of contrasted working spaces, and i find it difficult to focus on the dark-themed drawio.

since upgrading to the following versions, i have had problems selecting the theme of drawio.

i cannot set my vscode to dark theme (default dark theme), and then set my drawio to something light themed (kennedy-light), it used to be possible in 1.7

This seems to be a duplicate of #456

Yes, but it's closed. @hediet maybe you could reopen it?

Since drawio tends to have issues in the dark theme, I reverted the change to automatically follow the VS Code theme.
Now, it will use the light theme by default, regardless of what VS Code uses.

Just to confirm that v1.9 behavior is that for VS dark mode I get dark diagrams UI for "automatic" and "dark" theme and light diagrams for others.

Thanks for the fix.

working great, thanks for this, helps my eyes too! 🎉

@wieczorekmariusz that screenshot does not look like from v1.9 - there should only be "min" and "kennedy" available 🤔

For "appearance", there is light, dark and automatic. automatic means it follows the VS Code dark/light mode.
Default is now light (in 1.7/8 it was automatic, in <=1.6 it was effectively light)
