<div></div>
It's most likely light.

Fun fact: websites can also detect your system theme on iPhone to!
This defaults to light if it for some reason doesn't work.Also, we should be able to set our “default theme” for projects as well.

I don't see any basic use for this other than user interfaces and operating systems. Where would this ACTUALLY be useful for?

So let me get this straight. You want a dark mode block that can detect if an OS has their own dark mode toggled JUST for eye health and looks on a Scratch project? I don't see any major usefulness.Where would this ACTUALLY be useful for?UI.

It's quality of life. It obviously shouldn't be the Scratch Team's top priority.So let me get this straight.

If white, then it will always report light mode. If black, then it will always report dark mode.<div></div>
It's most likely light.
This actually works to detect dark mode in Scratch by svg.
I created a project 2 months ago to detect that: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/644630356/
However, it can only detect the state when it is loaded in Scratch, not when the mode is toggled during execution.

(#35)proof? there is no way a mod rejected it for being “stupid,” it's more likely that it was closed because it's a dupe

ChromeOSAre there some devices that don't have dark mode?Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhones have dark mode. I can't think of any that don't.
Edit: didn't see the post of the KOP
