Toggle Light / Dark Mode

Toggle Light / Dark Mode switches the GedSite user interface between

1. Light mode where the background is light and text and other foreground items are dark,
   
   and
2. Dark mode where the background is dark and text and other foreground items are light.

The first time you start GedSite, the program will select light mode or dark mode based on your Microsoft Windows color mode. If you use the Toggle Light / Dark Mode command, GedSite will switch to the other mode and save your preference, and the next time you start the program, GedSite will use the mode you chose last.

User Interface Color

GedSite's user interface supports several color choices:

Choose the color you prefer from the submenu. GedSite will switch to the color and save your choice for the next time you start GedSite.

Some colors work well in Light mode, and not so well in Dark mode, and vice-versa.
