Not all the apps have that feature in the app. And I think the developers kept it in that way because using a dark mode on a software or an app is a choice. And if software developers did not add a particular feature in the software or the app and you go to the internet and search for it and see a software or an app that have that particular feature in the software or the app then it is not the original one. And I advise you not to use it because you might end up losing all your coins to scammers.

I check my Bitcoin Core in the Display tab and see no option for wallet Theme display mode so likely those discussions did not turn into any visual deployment from Bitcoin Core developers.
Yes, there is no option to change dark theme mode like electrum. I lift this with hope the developer make it happen in the future. I know it's not more important, but if it's easy to implement without disturbing other programs, why not?

You can force dark mode on your OS, whether it is a version of Windows or Ubuntu.
I used dark mode on windows, but the bitcoin core wallet still did not follow the system. I don't know in Linux, but in Android, all the applications will follow the phone theme when we click application to follow the system.

Bitcoin Core makes use of Qt for windowing and as far as I know it doesn't have an automatic dark mode. You have to style it that way yourself. Given that there are a lot of screens, it's not surprising to me that this is taking so long as it's a log of work.
You are right, maybe I have to test and follow that GitHub code, or maybe I have to use it to another PC so it's safer rather than testing it on a wallet that has a balance.

Electrum is using Kivy for windowing so I guess they already have the colors sorted out, though not sure if it's built-in to the framework itself.

You can force dark mode on your OS, whether it is a version of Windows or Ubuntu. If you do not get good results, there are applications for the screen light period to suit the situation. Bitcoin Core is open source and they do not focus on the UI much so it may take more time than other apps.

I like Electrum Wallet being light weight, electrum also has a dark mode theme which I can set easily on setting, But in Bitcoin Core Wallet, there is no setting for it. I have searched and found This to how to use a dark mode theme on a wallet. But, because that application is outside the wallet, I'm still hesitant to use it. (I am worry that aplication is peeking my btc )

What do you think, does in the future there be a setting for dark mode?, is it difficult to implement on core wallet?
