I think this confirms my suspicion that there is no "Official" Git GUI Dark Mode on Windows 10. > I think you want to implement tri-state `Dark mode` option.

Our interests conflict here. I think we should rather provide 3 different options here. 1. System Default 2. Light Mode 3. Dark Mode I find these options easy rather than the "Yes" or "No" options. I'm currently planning to convert this into a C++ program as there is no way from the Tcl itself to change the color and background color of the title bar or menu of the Git GUI window. I also CCed Pratyush Yadav as he is the official maintainer of the project.
