Widget doesn't change background color when system changes theme.

[davidtakac]

Reproduce:

1. Put widget on home screen
2. Change from light to dark system theme (or vice versa) a couple of times

Expected:

• Widget changes colors according to theme

Actual:

• Only the edges of events respond to theme changes, but the widget background doesn't

Tested on:

• Google Pixel 4a 5G, Android 11
• Samsung Galaxy S8, Android 9
• Nexus 5X Emulator Android 11

Can you make a pull request with your fix or do you still want to test it?

[davidtakac]

I still want to test it because I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way. I will make a PR when it's ready.

Hey, yeah, it fixes the problem, but it's really a workaround so I'm not that happy with it. It causes the widget to go through it's initialization process twice, which is inefficient.

The best and most "Android" solution would be to handle the theme change via themes, but the dark/black theme combination complicates things.

TL;DR: I'll look into a more robust and thorough solution soon.

Any news? Is your fix doing anything on the widget header color? I'm confused that it is still blue with the black theme enabled while the rest of the app isn't.
