Can it please be addressed that themes, fonts and dark mode are not universal. This is annoying. If I have a dark theme it may not work with dark mode so then you have to go through each app individually. Or some apps won't let you use fonts 😒 there should be an override even if its just for when you're typing or reading/replying to messages. Its just ugly. Like right now my keyboard looks one way but the message is in plain font 🙄 ughhhhhhh

I second. But the best way to get this to developers is by filing a feedback with them. Of course they'll still probably turn a blind eye. But you can always hope. 🤞

There is no universality because app developers create their own apps. Any app features would have to be taken up with the individual app developers.  Some developers only want the fonts they program into the app to be used, some don't allow their apps to be in dark mode or adjust modes to match the phone mode, some don't allow their apps to rotate.  Samsung only has control over their own apps.  Themes only apply to Samsung apps, unless an app has its own theme choices.

You brought this up in the beta forum last week. Apps that are 3rd party, unless allowed, do not have a setting to allow to make color/background/icon changes to match the overall theme of the user's setup on their devices. You can create your own theme with the backgrounds, your icons etc with Good Lock plugins, but 3rd party ones that limits their appearances will not allow them to be altered or allow them to be changed in one's personal aesthetics. M suggestion is to create your set-up, then move the unalterable icons into a folder out of view.
