What happened?

Issue Description

I was trying to
Set a custom theme on one client device

When
I accessed the application from other client devices using the same account

Expected behavior:
The custom theme configuration should sync automatically and be applied across all client devices.

Actual behavior:
The custom theme set on one device is not reflected on other client devices.

Error message:
None (no error message displayed)

How can we reproduce the issue?

Steps to Reproduce

Log in to the application using a valid account on Client Device A (mobile, iPad, or web).
Navigate to Settings → Theme
Apply a custom theme and save the changes.
Log in to the same account on Client Device B.
Navigate to the application interface - you can see custom theme is not set

Where are you hosting Actual?

NAS

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge

Operating System

Windows 11

Themes are set per-device and are not synced.
