@kovidgoyal approached this problem very comprehensively and worked out his solution step by step.
MacOS/Linux users can use the CALIBRE_USE_DARK_PALETTE variable, and for Windows 10 users, all they need is dark theme on the system.

I'll be very interested in taking a look at his approach. To be honest, upgrading to Windows 10 1909 is the only reason I know that Windows even HAS a dark theme. I'm sure it was there earlier, but I never saw it.
EDIT: I see he's basically using the approach that everybody is using: using QPalette to get most of the way there, and then QStyles and icons to get the rest of the way (plus checking the Windows registry key for LightMode/DarkMode). Nothing fancy, just a ton of icon work I don't relish the thought of undertaking. Not to mention tackling the basic hurdle of being able to easily override Sigil's icons (which is been a part of calibre for a long, long time). In other words ...
work. Ugh. I was hoping for a magic button.
