Research direction

Start by locating Xed's preference UI and the code that reads desktop settings. Determine which system dark-theme toggle is supported and how it should interact with Xed's existing theme choices. Done means the preference can follow the desktop's dark-theme state and switches correctly when that state changes.

Description

I use Automatic dark/light themes to switch my Desktop Theme for best comfort in the current Lighting Conditions around my PC.

Because i switch between 2 opposite Themes so often, i'm a bit annoyed that Xed has no Way to match the System's dark Theme Toggle.

Please add a Xed Preference to match the dark Theme Toggle in Desktop Settings.
