Hi!
Using docker-compose and traefik
postgres:9.6 and gitea/gitea:latest

I changed the registration settings on app.ini and it worked but adding this

[ui]
THEMES = arc-green
DEFAULT_THEME = arc-green
THEME_COLOR_META_TAG = #6cc644

didnt change the default theme.

It did change the gloabl theme, but didnt change the users theme? Oh it was the user account settings.

Currently, if the user as the default theme (not arc-green) set before it will keep the default theme currently but will not be able to set it again if it change from the settings.

An easy fix should be to check available themes here: 01a4a7cb14/models/user.go (L196)
with a func similar to 171b359877/modules/auth/user_form.go (L253) which check if theme exist.

You can change the theme of an existing user by editing the database

sqlite> select id,name,theme from user;
1|foobar|gitea
sqlite> update user set theme='arc-green' where id=1;
sqlite> select id,name,theme from user;
1|foobar|arc-green
