On a dark Linux desktop, Settings → Theme → Light turned only the menu bar light: Messenger stayed dark (#406). Messenger renders from the webview's prefers-color-scheme, and WebKitGTK reports dark whenever the GTK theme name ends in -dark (Omarchy and GNOME use Adwaita-dark for a dark desktop), whatever gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme says.
While Light is forced, Carrier now sets GTK's theme name to the light variant (Adwaita-dark → Adwaita), and puts the desktop's own name back when the theme is Dark or System. Names without a -dark suffix are left alone.
Tested on Omarchy (Hyprland, WebKitGTK 2.54, Adwaita-dark): with Theme = Light, Messenger renders light. Dark and System still follow as before.
