This thread has been stale for days.

Sorry, I couldn't find time to catch up on this because its been busy at 
$DAYJOB.

Anyway, git-gui does have some basic dark mode support, though I have 
seen reports that it does not work very well. You can change the Tk 
theme and it should enable dark mode on git-gui as well. See [0] for 
some more info. I am not very familiar with how Tk theming would work on 
Windows.

I think it would be nice if we can have a theme picker in the options 
menu though, so that is something you might want to look into.

Have you tried git cola? [1]

Yes, I did try it.

Git GUI is useful because it's built in, but from a usability
perspective cola has many advantages.

But it is just too much for my very light usage. I want something
light and embedded in Git for Windows itself.

.. and beyond these rather small differences, git cola even has image
diffs[2]. That alone is a killer feature.

It is a really great feature. But it isn't useful for me in my projects.

I have looked at tortoise Git, Git Cola, lazygit and some others too
but Git GUI seems perfect for my usage, except dark mode.
