I like this one too :) But would still be possible to have it enabled with a command line option? I mean if every new release we have a new version of this mode (theme?) either we loose this ability or we have the command line option binded to the most recent one. Why not some clickable link on the splash screen, or a toggle from the menu-bar? The only option that might make sense is an option to select a theme from the command line.
