I guess you added this "theme" as a placeholder dummy, right? Take a look at this:
mumble/src/mumble/LookConfig.cpp
Lines 120 to 121 in 70dea60
There we add the "None" theme. We could just as easily add the "Auto" theme there, so we do not need to have a dummy theme in theme.ini

Originily i tried to add the option with "qcbTheme->addItem(tr("Auto"));" , but it didnt work right as i think it didnt save/load properly. I tried to fix it by changing LookConfig::reloadThemes ,LookConfig::load and LookConfig::save, but to no avail. So I had to resort to doing with putting fake theme in theme.ini .

You are right just adding qcbTheme->addItem(tr("Auto")); does not seem to be enough. However, from a maintainability point of view and general structure of this sort of this, I would insist that we solve this programmatically. I think that means modification to Themes::getConfiguredStyle and possibly a custom ThemeMap object.
(Please note that I do not have the time currently to properly 100% think this through, so that's also why I am very glad that someone else is taking this feature request 😅)

We should figure this out programmatically. If you are stuck here, let us know what is failing and we can figure out a way together.

Please also double check (at least when we are done here), if all of those includes are actually needed.

I think only these includes are needed "QPalette, QSettings, QStyleHints", but not 100% sure.

Idea: If you move this to Themes::getConfiguredStyle, you will have access to the user setting strings. If you do this check with something like settings.themeName == "Auto", you could probably simply add the "Auto" to the ComboBox (further investigation required)
This would have the additional benefit of not having to hard-code the path, but rather - in the case of "Auto" - just selecting the appropriate ThemeMap with the name "Dark" or "Lite".
But if you run into any issues with this approach, be sure to let me know.

I tried that today, to no avail. I don't know if I implemented it wrong, in the wrong section, or it's something else. Furthermore, I have other tasks related to this git, but those only need to stay on my local machine, as well as other tasks from other subjects, so I don't know when I will be able to look at this specific issue again.
