• Sun icon (☀) displayed: Currently in Light Mode
• Moon icon (☽) displayed: Currently in Dark Mode

Clicking switches from the current theme to the opposite one.

Automatic Theme Selection

When kakiko is launched for the first time, the theme is automatically selected based on your OS system settings.

• If “Dark Mode” is set in macOS: Launches in Dark Mode
• If “Light Mode” is set in macOS: Launches in Light Mode
• The same applies on Windows, following the system color settings

Once you manually switch the theme, that setting is saved and used on the next launch.

Theme Setting Persistence

Theme settings are automatically saved within the app.

• The selected theme is maintained even after restarting the app
• Settings are stored separately for each device
• Theme settings are not included in Snapshot Sync (the feature that saves a point-in-time snapshot of your data and syncs it to the cloud)
