Description
Hello, is there any way to detect light or dark mode on the system an application is running on to change themes respectively?
After looking for a while I can't find any mention of it in Druid, and no Druid example seems to adhere to the dark/light mode setting (at least on MacOS) despite its [theme containing keys](https://docs.rs/druid/latest/druid/theme/index.html#constants) for [dark](https://docs.rs/druid/latest/druid/theme/constant.BACKGROUND_DARK.html) and [light](https://docs.rs/druid/latest/druid/theme/constant.BACKGROUND_LIGHT.html) colors?
Should I just rely on the [dark-light](https://crates.io/crates/dark-light) crate for now and check periodically?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked druid::theme constants and the existing examples to determine how themes are selected. Compare that behavior with the dark-light crate mentioned in the issue and identify the supported platform-specific detection points. Done means the project’s support or limitation for system light/dark mode is clearly established, with any required behavior covered by tests or documentation.
