Staring at bright screens contributes to eye strain, and more so when there is limited environmental light. We can help make the app friendlier to use in low-light environments by providing an optional dark color scheme for the UI.

[ ] Devise a common approach to UI styling. Right now we have a mix of UIAppearance API, values set in storyboards and xibs, and values set via code, some ad hoc but mostly via WPStyleGuide. We need a single approach that can be implemented globally, and supports multiple themes.
[ ] Make sure ALL UI respects a common UI styling approach.
[ ] Add setting to toggle between the light and dark styles.
[ ] Ensure views respect the currently selected theme when they are created.
[ ] Re-style any existing views when the setting is changed.

A couple of related libraries that might be good for inspiration: Simplenote for iOS currently uses DB5 DKNightVersion shows up in a quick google search.

Requested in a five star review:

This really needs a dark/night mode! I do a lot of writing at night and it would be really helpful. Other than that, the app works great.
