Wrong key label for theme modes

[dylan09]

The key for switching between light and dark theme should be mode. I think modes is wrong.

In the documentation Frontend documentation in the samples the keyword 'modes' is used. But in the text and in the attribute list mode is listed as attribute key word.

After changing to mode the automatic change takes place. But the themes aren't rendered correct. In light theme the border is missing.
And in both themes (light and dark) the colors are missing. If I change back to modes only light theme is working. But than borders and colors are back.

I am running Home Assistant 2021.8.6 on docker.

The correct naming is mode without an "s" at the end. :)

See here: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/const.py#L138

Why the colors and borders are not working, I'd need to check. Must be something, that is overwritten in one of the mode sections. The reason why it is working with modes is, that because of the use of the wrong naming, this part won't be parsed...

I'll see if I come up with something.

Interestingly, the contents of the file mobile_light.yaml is used even if the wrong keyword is used. So it is using it as default?
With the misspelled keyword the 'mobile_light.yaml' is parsed and everything is displayed correct. Also, if I change the file name to 'mobile_dark.yaml', everything is displayed correctly using the dark theme.

I will try to include all definitions into the mobile.yaml (without the includes). Maybe it will work that way and the includes aren't working correct.

So. After doing a lot of tests I have found:
The keyword modes seems to be correct. But everything I have tested: I couldn't get the theme to change between light and dark.

The key is defined in frontend code homeassistant/components/frontend/__init__.py.

Uups. My fault. After checking again for any error or mistyped key I have found the reason.
I had the theme defined in my views. After deleting the theme definition from my view definitions, automatic switching works.
