Nice to hear that you like my design.
I think this confirms my suspicion that there is no "Official" Git GUI Dark
Mode on Windows 10.

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.
