Description

Hello, friends!

I have some recommendations for the [list of compatible apps](https://github.com/AutoDarkMode/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode/wiki/Apps-with-Auto-Dark-Mode-support) on the wiki. I wished to clone the wiki repository and create a pull request, but it seems this is not feasible at present without involving a more complicated solution such as having Markdown files in the repository which are then synced with the wiki via GitHub Actions, [etc.](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/9473)

Here are the proposals so far:

- [8 Zip](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9WZDNCRFJB33?hl=en-us&gl=US) / [8 Zip Pro](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9WZDNCRFHWB8?hl=en-us&gl=US) (_Archive Manager_, free with optional pro version):
- Settings -> Themes -> System
- [draw.io](https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop) (_Diagram/Whiteboard App_, free)
- Extras -> Theme -> Automatic
- [ImageGlass](https://imageglass.org/) (_Photo Viewer_, free):
- Settings -> Appearance -> Theme
- You can set themes of your choosing for light/dark modes.
- These themes will follow automatic switching.
- [Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/en/) (_Video Editor_, free):
- Settings -> Color Scheme -> Default
- Titlebar doesn't change with theme, use [Mica for Everyone](https://github.com/MicaForEveryone/MicaForEveryone)
- [Logi Options+](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/software/logi-options-plus.html) (OEM: _Logitech_, free)
- Settings -> Color theme -> Follow OS theme
- [Mica for Everyone](https://github.com/MicaForEveryone/MicaForEveryone) (_System Utility_ – enables backdrop effects on titlebars of Win32 apps)
- Global Rule -> Titlebar Color -> System
- Now, titlebars will always follow your system theme for Win32 apps!
- [Mp3tag](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/) (_Audio Tag Editor_, free):
- File -> Options -> Appearance -> Color Mode -> Default
- [OpenVPN Connect](https://openvpn.net/client/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/) (_VPN Client_, free):
- Settings -> Theme -> System
- [Torrex Lite](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9WZDNCRFJB3D?hl=en-us&gl=US) / [Torrex Pro](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9WZDNCRDSGKG?hl=en-us&gl=US) (_Torrent Client_, free with optional pro version):
- Personalization -> Color Themes -> System theme
- [Wacom Center](https://www.wacom.com/en-us/support/product-support/drivers) (OEM: _Wacom_, free):
- No theme settings, switches themes implicitly.
- [Wireshark](https://www.wireshark.org/) (_Network Analyzer_, free):
- No theme settings, switches themes implicitly.

For existing items, as inspired by my list from above, perhaps we could add links to websites for all items.

To all users of Auto Dark Mode: please submit any applications that you have found to work well with the automatic theme switching!

Thank you!
