KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

For end users belonging to a company which has a theme defined, they still see the system default theme, although their theme picker depicts the company record's selection. 

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to User Organization > Companies
  2. Open a company (ex: Apple)
  3. Configure form layout to add 'theme' field.
  4. Select the 'rose' theme and save
  5. Create 2 users (ex: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates)
  6. Impersonate user (ex: Steve Jobs)
  7. Observe the theme is still system theme
  8. Use cog wheel and select theme section and notice that 'Rose' is selected.

Expected:
Per the official documentation, "In UI16, the basic configuration is used instead of the theme selected in the company record."

Actual:
Although the basic configuration is displayed, the cog wheel setting indicates the user has selected "Rose" - Selecting "Rose" then does update the theme.
