Good Point!

I will try to add in something.


On MacOS the user controls Dark Mode from their own System Preferences and switching can be done at any time or even automatically based on time of day.
Sigil on macOS even if launched before the Dark Mode change will automatically adapt on the fly.

On Windows, it checks to see if Dark or Light only when Sigil is launched. And as BeckyEbook said there is an environment variable override (which macOS does not have).

I think Linux is the same as Windows. On my Manjaro box it seems to detect the user's Desktop Dark theme automatically.

Does it use the same environment variable overrride?

If anyone knows, please let me know so that I can add this to the user-guide either under customizing the ui chapter or in the user interface chapter.

The reason you do not see a Dark mode setting in Sigil Preferences is because Sigil's Preferences for CV highlight colours will change automatically depending on Dark or Light Mode, as will Preview's background (but that can be overridden).
