>It's not wrong nor misleading at all. Yeah it totally is and I explained why. >Who cares if they keep working A lot of people. >if the only way to get dark mode is to custom render the whole UI yourself Most the apps I use support dark mode: Chrome, FF, Notepad++, Jellyfin, Qbittorrent, SumatraPDF, Signal, Wiztree, WinSCP, and others I'm forgetting. Seems like it's not an impossible task for the developers. And on Github you can find FOSS apps[1] that have implemented light/dark mode switching for their UI, so you can just copy what they're doing if you don't know where to start.
