Describe the feature you'd like

Since https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/pull/1872, Dark Mode in Android is now gray instead of black. Since most phones are OLED now, this is suboptimal. It would be nice to switch back to all black, or to offer a check mark for toggling it.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Battery, OLED contrast benefits.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Yeah, I agree. I think I can move back to the black theme for android.
