Default to system color scheme / theme / mode preference #494

Open kkoreilly opened 1 year ago

kkoreilly commented 1 year ago

If the user has set their operating system preferences to dark or light mode, GoGi should recognize that preference and default to that value.

This has been implemented on all platforms except for Linux. Also, we still might want to implement watching of this.

We also might want to support automatically defaulting to system scaling, scroll speed, and other settings. It is a tradeoff between consistency with the system and consistency across Cogent Core apps.

It seems neither necessary nor practical to implement defaulting to other system settings across all platforms; if someone wants to do that at some point in the future, they can. I still need to implement watching of system theme and potentially support for system theme on Linux if possible.
