I have not jet found a way to open the settings menu. Light theme hurts 😄 ☢️

I could imagine something like psst-gui --theme=dark.

psst-gui --help doesn't seam to be a thing yet since it start the gui normally.

Environment:
Debian 10 (installed via .deb package)
Version: 562f9df (Mar 10, 2021)

I have not yet found a way to open the settings menu.

Haha, we should definitely fix this, at the very least the shortcuts should work! Sorry, there isn't any command line handling yet, correct. In the meantime, you can switch the theme in the JSON config file. The path should get printed in the logs.

BTW, most of GTK apps on Linux don't use an application menu anymore, and the global (Mac-like) menu from the old Ubuntu days isn't used either, correct? We could add a hamburger icon to the top-right corner with a context menu for Linux and Windows.

Application menu is available in Gnome, but it gets complicated/"i don't know" how when there is a custom desktop environment like dwm envolved.

Hamburger sounds good (food and menu!).

Oh and while we are at it, the tofu □ characters in place of emojis should get solved soon in Druid (by switching to Pango text rendering.)

Fixed in 0bb5258, I've added just a "Show Preferences" button instead of a full hamburger, as we don't have anything else to put there now :)

The icon(s?) looks overlayed on windows, not shure if intentional.
