Thanks for raising that point -- it is pertinent. However, I think there is no big difficulty in making this work on all systems. For instance, Emacs could define a system-independent way to specify "dark mode". Perhaps using an environment variable. I'd expect that to work on all systems. If a system has a conventional way to specify this. then Emacs should recognize it. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
