Dark mode and other theming options for PSPP
Greetings everyone! I have used SPSS for helping my friends with their university statistics work. I downloaded PSPP a few hours ago and immediately felt that it could do with customisability for (at the minimum) switching to dark mode, if not tracking the system's preference. I suppose the easiest thing to implement would be to produce some changes to the GTK specification, or even just make new dark-themed Adwaita icons. What could I do to achieve this? I'll want to explore the source code some time. Regards, Vivraan.

How do other GTK+ applications do this? PSPP should do it the same way.

I'll bridge that knowledge gap right after a good night's nap. I've never worked with GTK+ applications before. Regards, Shivam.

Re: Dark mode and other theming options for PSPP
psppire should operate quite well in "dark looks" (or any other style). As hinted however, some of the "icons" we use would not really match that style. An artist would need to create some custom ones. Or one could just accept that the icons would look out of place.
