Description

Hello, is there any way to detect light or dark mode on the system an application is running on to change themes respectively?

After looking for a while I can't find any mention of it in Druid, and no Druid example seems to adhere to the dark/light mode setting (at least on MacOS) despite its theme containing keys for dark and light colors?

Should I just rely on the dark-light crate for now and check periodically?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to detect the system's dark/light mode preference on various platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) and propose a way to integrate it into Druid's theming system. Look at existing crates like dark light for inspiration.
