Dark mode theme for STM32CubeMX

With the recent split of STM32CubeIDE and STM32CubeMX, I'd like to propose a dark mode option be added to STM32CubeMX.

In consideration of the competing priorities for STM's software development team, I have two suggestions for how this proposal could be implemented:

  1. The first suggestion is the typical route: STM's in-house software development team add the UI theming and inputs to switch between dark and light mode.
  2. The second suggestion is less typical: make STM32CubeMX open source and let the larger software community assist with adding dark mode. Perhaps the source could be placed alongside other repositories in STM's current GitHub account.

...The benefits of adding such an option would be as follows:

  • Consistency with STM32CubeIDE, from which STM32CubeMX was split from (STM32CubeIDE already has a dark mode)
  • Consistency with the vast majority of other software in the industry
  • Consistency with what has become a common user experience across operating systems, browsers, and setups in general for any segment of STM's customer base

Overall, this style change would involve no functional change to the software and would enhance STM's professional image.
