Describe the bug.

Enabling dark mode with traditional themes can be a subpar experience, since there is no real agreed upon standard for how dark mode should work on Linux.

Expected behavior

This is fixed by the introduction of FreeDesktop dark mode preference. See https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/629 and https://blog.elementary.io/the-need-for-a-freedesktop-dark-style-preference/

This should mean more reliable and consistent dark mode behaviour. Likely needs support in the toolkit/UI library, so this is probably blocked on a decision in https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity/issues/572
