    I didn't see a good place to post this.  I just downloaded V1.4 and was disappointed that you apparently went the Gimp route with a black background.  I know it's trendy but it really is hard on the eyes, in fact so hard that I get a headache after about a half hour.  The worst is the Font selection where the fonts are all in dark gray on a black background.  Really?  For me it renders font selection almost useless!  I know I'm not the only one who has a problem because I see other comments on the internet.  Soooooo, is there any way for me to revert to the old black type on white background?

    ... uncheck "use dark theme".

    Well, that was easy.  Thank you!
