Description

macOS has a feature which automatically switches light and dark themes during the day/night. It would be nice to have binja react to these events and switch to a user-specified theme.

Initial search found me QEvent::Type::PaletteChange but it seems this doesn't contain any information about which palette changed or why.

Research direction

Start with the QEvent::Type::PaletteChange path mentioned in the issue and investigate how macOS reports automatic appearance changes. Done means binja responds to day/night changes and applies a user-specified light or dark theme; the issue does not identify files or tests.
