Re: [INFO] Does Git GUI support Dark Mode on Windows 10 ?

Hello,

I am new to the concept of mailing lists so please bear with me.

I'm a JS developer. I love Git GUI for its minimalism in both size and
layout. I have been using Git and Git GUI on Windows for a long time.
I think the only thing missing from the "Official" Git GUI is dark
mode.

I use dark mode on almost all places. Firefox, Discord, GitHub,
Outlook, Notepad++, VS Code and even Reddit too. The only place that
is missing dark mode in my workflow is Git GUI.

Is there any way I can make Git GUI dark mode ?

I don't know a lot of Tcl/Tk but I am currently trying to learn it. I
did a few edits and made the About page in dark mode.
You can look at it here:

.

I have found two threads in the mailing list but those are just dead
ends for me. Hence I reached this mailing list.

I would rather like to see yourself posted PR to the dedicated subsytem 
at [1].

I think you want to implement tri-state `Dark mode` option. When it is 
set to `Yes`, always use dark theme regardless of system settings; when 
it is `No` the opposite; and `Auto` use dark theme when it is enabled in 
system settings, normal the opposite.
