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

Does the Windows installation come with any other themes? You can use
`ttk::style theme names` to list all available themes.
It contains all these themes in Windows 10 x64.
"winnative clam alt default classic vista xpnative"
Based of [0] (the best source I could find),
"winnative", "vista", "xpnative" are Windows-only but built-in themes and
"clam", "alt", "default", "classic" are built-in themes for all OSes.
And this is part of the reason I am considering "default" to be the
base of the new theme that I want to create instead of "vista".

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.
Yes, I thought of adding a menu between "Tools" and "Help". It will
contain 3 options(system, light, dark) as I said before.
I think it would be better to put it in the "options" dialog.
Ok.
I don't mind carrying themes in the git-gui repo since Tk theming
support is not very well documented or standardized. But please do be
careful of licence compatibility when porting code.
No, I want to imitate the look. And I don't actually know much about
the license or legal side of the software so I try to avoid it at all
costs and start from scratch.
Kinda like "Linux is Unix-like, but it doesn't contain Unix's code" -
The great Linus Torvalds.

The "equilux" theme is GPLv3, but I didn't find a license file in the
repo. In the "Help > About" part of Git GUI, you mentioned it being
GPL(I think v1). Please include it in the repo too.
