Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Surprisingly, this was never properly requested and only lived as now-closed questions scattered across different repos.
Given that the cplugin based menu implemented in the https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/5500#issuecomment-1849429931 is also controlled by dark mode, we now have other UI elements affected by this, and there may be more in the future. It is time to add options to control the behavior of mpv's dark mode.
