Websites can now automatically switch. between light and dark mode depending on the mode of the underlying OS via `prefers-color-scheme`: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme.  On Macos I like to set the Appearance to "Auto" meaning it will automatically adjust from light to dark throughout the day.  Since Workflowy is one of the main tools I use throughout the day I'd love for it to make use of `prefers-color-scheme` and automatically change the mode along with everything else.  

 

It would probably be fairly simple to implement this feature, so I'm hoping you can prioritize it.  Thank you!

  Workflowy desktop app does that but not exactly right – in my experience, it's only able to detect the change if it's open, if you switch to dark mode and open Workflowy it remains light.

  Since it already has dark mode it'd be a relatively simple change and I'd love to see it.
