Several themes don't support light appearance - dark and light modes are identical #18397
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
When selecting a theme and toggling between dark/light appearance, the following themes show no visual change:
- Night Owl
- Ayu
- Aura
- Catppuccin Frappe
- Catppuccin Macchiato
This happens because each color in these themes has the same value for both dark and light properties, e.g.:
"primary": {
"dark": "nightOwlBlue",
"light": "nightOwlBlue" // identical to dark
}
Plugins
None
OpenCode version
Reproduced on v1.2.27. Still present in the latest commit (0bbf26a).
Steps to reproduce
- Open OpenCode
- Go to settings → appearance
- Select one of the affected themes (Night Owl, Ayu, Aura, Catppuccin Frappe, Catppuccin Macchiato)
- Toggle between dark and light appearance
- Observe that the colors remain identical

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
catppuccin-frappeandcatppuccin-macchiato#10512: Specifically covers the same problem forcatppuccin-frappeandcatppuccin-macchiato— both dark and light properties are set to the same colorsIf this issue extends the scope of #10512 (by also covering Night Owl, Ayu, and Aura), it may still be worth keeping open as a broader tracking issue — but please coordinate with the maintainers.
