The Themes action says Apply recommended layout and effects, but themes are free to recommend a different set of preferences.
During the audit, the Legacy theme changed only the accent. OpenStation changed the accent, layout, and dock position. Neither action changed the window or reveal effects promised by the label.
That makes the button hard to trust: it can change things it does not name and leave named things untouched.
How to reproduce
- Select the Legacy theme.
- Set a distinctive accent, layout, and effect combination.
- Use the recommendation action and compare the values.
- Repeat with the OpenStation theme.
Suggested wording
Use a truthful generic label such as Apply recommended preferences, or build a confirmation from the actual keys in the theme manifest.
PR #581 changes the button to Apply recommended preferences and updates the surrounding explanation.
