I have played with Light/Dark modes in macOS, I can tell you that they work as expected, I'm sorry about alerting you. The only "issue" I found is that the Code View color set changed but, digging inside sigil.ini, I found that there is a different set of color when the Dark mode is on, so everything's fine

I still think you could add the following colors to Preferences > Appearance > Code View > Colors:
  • default text color (when any of the other text colors apply)
  • Code view background color
  • selection text color
  • selection background text color
This way any user could create a full theme for their Code View without relaying in their OS theme or .qss stylesheet

I meet a lot of people that usually say that open source is ugly and, just because of that, they don't want to use it... I totally disagree, of course, and try to convince them showing them that they can use skins, themes, stylesheets, etc. so that the software looks cool... and from that day they like and use them. Those people usually have Windows or macOS computers. I know too that in Linux OS, apps themes very easily get the OS look and they really look cool, but, once again it sadly it doesn't happen in Windows or macOS and the default UI is pretty raw, heterogeneous and ugly.
With all this little speech I just want to say that it is not bad to make a little room in open source software for theme customization because we never know how the app looks in other OS or, even knowing it, we don't know the user look preferences...

Thank you very much, not just for me (I really had fun developing/tweaking them) but for all those users (or future users) that may need it to have a better experience using Sigil

This is another suggestion I made, an entry inside Preferences > Appearance to set the .qss stylesheet you want to load instead of be forced to use the file called "qt_styles.qss". I might not be hard to code and it would make life easier for users (that they usually are not very skilled...)

Towards the middle right, there should be a little paperclip icon. You click on that to attach images.

Then you can click on the little arrow NEXT TO the paperclip in order to insert it into your actual post.
Thank you very much, I will do it next time
