Feature request: dark/night mode

[ghost]

It would be nice were there to be a dark mode - as in e.g. Firefox or Windows 10 or Office. At present, one can set up such a configuration, but one has to do it by altering many colour settings within Lucas Chess.

Here's a screenshot showing what can be achieved manually and what it would be good to achieve more easily via a dark mode.

PS: You'll be able to see that there are some problems with the PNG display; I haven't managed to set things up right there - font sizes and pane sizes (not colours); that might be because I am running Lucas Chess on Linux, via Wine.

You could change the height of pgn rows (Options-Configuration-Appearance.

I could add themes, but I need people send me different configurations (lk70.pik), and I add it.

Thanks.

Re pgn rows: I seem to need to make them smaller, but I am at the lowest setting already.

Themes: you would like people to send you their respective 'lk70.pik' files? OK, here (attached, and zipped) is one for a dark theme.

However, it seems to me that not all text gets themed - see the image below, which was taken from a configuration running my dark theme.

Also, buttons don't look very good with the settings that I have created (and that is because, I think, of shadows):

Finally: which text uses the 'bright' mode, please?

Please remove link to lk70.zip, as it contains more info about your configuration, I have it.

Thanks. I've removed the file from the post; I don't know how to delete it from the server or what have you.
