Cannot run Sioyek in windows w/o admin - microsoft defender doesn't recognize publisher.

Is it possible to address this so that people at work computers can care for their eyes better (Dark Mode)? : ) Let me know if I can help.

image Windows protected your PC Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

App: sioyek.exe Publisher:
Unknown publisher

Is there an option for Run Anyway? Else, if there's an option for More Information you can click on that to show the option. I've installed this through winget without any such issues.

Also, there is already a dark mode feature. The default shortcut key is f8. You can also add startup_commands toggle_dark_mode to your prefs_user.config file to set dark mode as default. The video in the readme also shows how to use custom colors.

Hi, thank you for taking your time to reply : D

No, there is no option to run anyway, there is only option to close the monit. If there were any options I'd try them.

I know there is a dark mode in sioyek, that's why I'm trying to install it.

Can you try installing winget and then running winget install sioyek in powershell or cmd?

As you can read in the issue title I have no admin rights, so cannot install anything.

That is the point of _portable versions isn't it?
