From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I do think that as a store it should have some guidelines on quality, but not of the application icon's styling

That dark theme screenshot is bad and light theme is good is nuts because if theme is important you provide a 50/50 screenshot showing off the themes.

I don't think that was the point, it says "Having some screenshots to show off that e.g. dark style is supported is fine."

If you look at the screenshot, it shows the app using a weird font, as well as non-default header bar buttons. That's the main area of contention. Screenshots showing weird fonts, non-standard window additions, custom themes, aren't recommended.

Showing the app supports dark mode is completely fine.
