After several flow deploys - subj. situation is happening. It's bug I think. ---

If you can narrow down the circumstances so that we can repeat it then we can investigate. ---

I think you can get this issue if you will set the dark angular theme, make some little changes in flow with deploy after each changing. Usually i get this issue after 5-8 deploys (change-deploy) - theme becomes light. ---

Nope - rock solid for me. ---

I'll try to find dependences... ---

I think i get it: as you can see theme set to dark (i just now change it from lite after login): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/6/68a4f3b87d614423259a57e258298696ad44b7b3.png) now if i logout from the admin interface and login again it becomes LIGHT: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/5/5fa50500abe80e629e9b64a37dbbe83802030803.png) ok... i'm changing it from light to dark again and deploy flows... and it's dark again.. but if i even don't logout and just press F5 (refresh admin page in browser) - theme becomes light again!!! It turns out that I got the wrong impression that this happens after flows deploy, but it turns out that this happens both when the page is refreshed and when login. looks like this property always set to default (light) after admin page reload or after login ---

I see that you are `not using the Node-RED theme`, you are using the `Angular theme` ---

@dceejay Here is how to reproduce it: 1. go to `dashboard` tab in sidebar 2. select the `Site` tab 3. change the fourth `Options` from `Node-RED theme everywhere` to `Angular theme everywhere` 4. select the `Angular` tab 5. change the `Light / Dark` option to 'Dark' 6. do a `Deploy` 7. SHUT DOWN AND RESTART NR 8. go to `dashboard` tab in sidebar 9. select the `Angular` tab At this point you should see that the `Light / Dark` option shows `Light (default)` however, the dashboard is still currently dark but if you do a deploy, the darhboard reverts to Light because that is what now is in the option. ---

Exactly! Option is saving after deploy, but revert to light after restart NR, relogin, refresh admin interface... ---

Great - if/as it's repeatable can you raise it as an issue on the dashboard project so we can track it. Thanks ---

I'm facing the very same issue with Angular theme reverting to light. Has anyone understood the reason and how to avoid it from happening? Many thanks! ---
