The recent proposal to use dark mode by default brings up a technical
question: I thought Emacs's default foreground and background colors
were not hardcoded by Emacs but were taken from the user's "general"
config (i.e. the desktop environment).

Does this mechanism fail to work for some reason, or have desktop
environments just stopped providing that info?

Under KDE on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Emacs gets default colours from
my Desktop Environment settings.

I have also noticed that if I define background, foreground, as well as
color0, color1,..., color15 in my .Xresources file Emacs prefers those settings
over my DE settings.

I have noticed there are users who are unfortunately stuck on Apple's MacOS, I
think they may have issues setting a colour scheme (I once had a job where
MacOS Yosemite was required, I couldn't find a way to change theming settings).

As for Microsoft Windows, I unfortunately don't know if it has any sort of
standard for theming settings.

There are users like me who don't run a desktop like KDE or Gnome on their shiny GNU/Linux OS either but prefer a simpler window manager instead.
