in my case, the service that changes the appearance, who is called frontend.set_theme does nothing despite pressing the call service button
so i can’t do automation to change theme e.g. depending on the position of the sun
please help in creating a working automation to change the theme

where ever you’re attempting to use the service… you said you tried to use the service and you failed. So what did you try?

In the developer tools tab and services as in the screenshot below
Changing the theme does not work in automations either
Do you have a theme called dark?
The service call is working for my day/night themes.

I have such themes and I would like to do automation that sets the theme dark after sunset
So how can I otherwise automatically change the theme?
Set your profile theme to ‘Backend-selected’ and try the service call again.

I do not have such a theme as you can see in the screenshot attached earlier, so how can I change to this theme?
Not even if you scroll up past ‘default’.

what does that even mean?
Try logging out and in again:
After months of not understanding why I couldn’t find the “backend-selected” option on a particular device I decided to check the forums and since I’m not alone, here’s my experience…
The device had a manually selected theme, and the option for “backend-selected” was missing. Logging in on another device with the same user, it defaulted to “backend-selected” there, but on the problem device it remained the same (Service: frontend.set_theme had no effect - the theme could only be manually set)
C…
You may also have to reset the app frontend cache.

This is a temporary solution because when you choose a different theme, this option disappears and you need to log in again to be able to change the theme again using this service So can you add theme called ‘Backend-selected’ permanently?
Congratulations!
You found a bug.
Please report it here so that it gets fixed:
I’m surprised no one else has already considering the date on that post I linked to.

But I can see that the problem has been ignored and immediately closed
Unfortunately your issue has been closed because you did not identify the issue correctly.
The issue is that you can not set the profile theme to “Backend-selected” after selecting another theme as it is no longer visible.
I have commented and hopefully Bram will reopen it.
