Alright, if the accent is not supported yet then almost everything is
fine I guess. The settings issue is not noticeable as all the updates
happen very fast.
I want to open my previous question about detecting unsupported colors
again here. So I assume that for example accent detection is not
supported on any Linux system and I have not tested yet how widespread
the support for color scheme detection is on other desktop environments.
From an application developer's point of view, the platform preferences
feature loses some appeal if there is no way of enabling a control flow
like: If the system color is supported use that one, else use the color
that I manually define somehow.
So it would be nice to either have a relatively simple way of detecting
which basic color property foreground, background, accent, color scheme
is actually supported or allow application developers to set the default
value for that property manually. In this case, I could just set a good
looking default accent color, which would then be returned on Linux
systems as that property is not supported yet.
I don't have access to the JBS, I'm not even sure how you get that.

Hi Christopher!
1) Accent color detection is not yet implemented for Linux/GTK. I
think this is a fairly recent addition for Ubuntu, probably in version 22.
2) I don't see this behavior on my Ubuntu 20.04 system (need to
upgrade to 23 and test again). If you have acess to JBS, feel free to
open a bug ticket to track this issue.

I finally found some time to test the latest ea build and can
confirm that it works now on Windows as expected.
Next, I moved to Linux, more specifically Ubuntu 23.04, and
encountered some issues:
- The accent color detection does not work, i.e. it does not
initially detect the value set in the settings and also does not
change when I modify the accent color in the Ubuntu Settings. I
can see some values changing in the map, however the end result is
still the same
- When opening the Ubuntu Settings application, the entire
platform preferences map is updated with weird values but somehow
changes back immediately after. Maybe it reports the default light
mode colors for a split second when opening the settings?
Once again I do not know whether this is intended or not as there
is no definitive list of which operating systems are supported.
Here is the obligatory preferences map on that system:
