Classic Theme - Can't use dark them for meetings


Appearance settings have changed. "Always use dark theme for calls and meetings" no longer works when selecting the "Classic" theme. It does work for "Light" theme. When Classic theme is selected the "Always use..." setting is grayed out.

(Light theme title bars are hard to read (extremely poor contrast) so I have been using Classic theme. Dark theme works very well in meetings, but I don't like it for anything else in Teams)

    Can confirm this in my environment on 26149.1205.4798.6437. Noticed it this week as well. I've always used Classic Theme with "dark theme for calls and meetings"

    This "bug"/"undocumented change" posted here as well:
