| The dark mode colors that are currently part of LyX 2.4 are hard
| coded.
| You can see them here:

| https://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyxgit/src/Color.cpp

| There you will find a comment

| // ColorCode, gui, latex, x11hexname, x11darkhexname, lyx

| So, for example,

| { Color_footlabel, N_("footnote label"), "footlabel", "#00aaff",
| blue,
| "footlabel" }

| means that the color "footlabel" will be set to "blue" in dark mode.
| So,
| without dark mode support, this corresponds to the following line in
| the
| Preferences file:

| \set_color "footlabel" "blue" "blue"

| (Setting the light mode color to the same color as the dark mode
| color.)

| In this way you should be able use the same colors in the work area
| (!)
| that LyX uses where it supports dark mode.

| Granted, it is a bit cumbersome to transfer all the colors.

| It might be a good idea to add a button to the color dialog for
| manually
| switching to dark mode/light mode colors.

| Hope that helps!

| Daniel
