Am I misunderstanding isSystemInDarkTheme()?

I have set android:configChanges="uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|orientation|screenLayout" to avoid recreating my Single Activity when the theme or screen orientation changes.
I expect the value of isSystemInDarkTheme() or LocalConfiguration.current.uiMode to change as soon as I change the theme in Android System Settings. However, this is not the case, and I need to re-launch the app to detect system theme change.
What am I missing? And how to actually observe system theme changes in Compose?

Okay, nevermind, I've ran into the same issue as this guy 3 years ago https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1624895100032700
Lesson learned, don't mess with attachBaseContext in the Application class!
