$User.UITheme and $User.UIThemeDisplayed not working on setup section of Lightning pages

Hi,

In the setup section of a lightning enviornment $User.UITheme and $User.UIThemeDisplayed displays Theme3 whereas it should display Theme4d. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround for detecting the environment whether classic or lightning on setup pages? I have a visualforce page embedded in the user detail page and want to detect the environment from it. 

Thanks

Hi, the below workaround code worked for me to differentiate between Classic & Lightning UI. 
<apex:page showHeader="true" sidebar="true">
  <apex:outputPanel rendered="{!$User.UITheme == 'Theme3'}">Currently in Classic UI</apex:outputPanel><br/> 
   <apex:outputPanel rendered="{!$User.UITheme != 'Theme3'}">Currently in Lightning Experience UI</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:page>

Hi David,
That has not solved the problem. I am still getting value of 'theme3' returned from variables $User.UITheme and $User.UIThemeDisplayed when I access a visualforce page embedded in hte user detail page accessed from Lightning Experience. This only happens in the user detail page, if I were to embed the same code into the Lead detail page or Contact detail page through a visualforce page the value correctly displays value 'Theme4d' in the lightning experience and value 'Theme3' in the classic environment. I am pretty sure this sound like a bug 

Thanks

I have experienced the same with an embedded visualforce page on the Account detail page. The weird thing is that it works on all orgs I have access to and have tested, except for one  that resides on the cs83 instance.

What instance are you accessing?
What browser are you using?
