I tried reproducing this error, but failed to do so.
Zed followed the preferred dark theme on my Linux machine.
Can you please try testing on X11, instead of Wayland?

@wathhr
Also, can you please check if any .panic files have been created on your ~/.local/share/zed/logs directory?
Or just checking if there are some error messages in ~/.local/share/zed/logs/Zed.log file, might come out to be helpful.

Running zed under xwayland with WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' zeditor also uses light theme

Also, can you please check if any .panic files have been created on your ~/.local/share/zed/logs directory?
Or just checking if there are some error messages in ~/.local/share/zed/logs/Zed.log file, might come out to be helpful.

There are no .panic files in ~/.local/share/zed/logs, and Zed.log has the following content:
