Clearly, it uses the default light theme

Git Version

No response

Operating System

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

How are you running Gitea?

Installed by following https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/
Running Gitea natively (no docker).
This is how systemd starts gitea: ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gitea web --custom-path /var/lib/gitea/custom --config /etc/gitea/app.ini

Have you added the theme to the list of possible themes to choose from in config: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#ui-ui ?

I will close this ticket but please hop into chat or our forum to discuss if that doesn't indeed work.
