[Feature request] An option for dark mode #87

This isn't a true dark mode, but you can invert the screen with multiple methods. It looks fine except that images are also inverted.

To invert the screen, you can search devmodeon, then tick invert screen in the developer settings section. Note that this will also enable logging and passwordless remote access, so I don't recommend it if connecting to public networks.

If you use kobopatch (note that this is unofficial, so don't complain if it causes issues, even though that's unlikely, and there's nothing released that will need more than a manual firmware sideload to fix if it breaks), I've made a patch to replace the adobe page numbers setting with an invert screen setting without side effects.

There are also older night mode mods (search on MobileRead), but they aren't as convenient to use as either of these options.

"Dark mode" on eink creates terrible ghosting, imo.
