Description

I am using a multi theme with accents. They are applied everywhere but the login screen - in the lock screen the colors are OK. It seems only the "default" accent is applied to the login screen. I tried this with multiple themes offering accents. The sync seems to be OK though, as the theme itself gets applied correctly - only the accent is not the one I configured.

Expected Behavior

The selected accent should be applied to the login screen as well.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use theme with accents
2. Select accent other than the default
3. Log out

Then you can see the default accent being used instead of the one selected in step 2.
