About that dark mode on Linux... any idea how we trigger it?

I see that Dexed isn't picking up the Qt theme from my desktop 
settings, also dexed --help doesn't produce any command line 
options, and a search on "dexed dlang dark mode" only brings up 
this thread.

If I can get dexed setup as my standard D IDE, I'll certainly 
"buy a copy" (aka make a donation).  Currently it's the only 
program on my desktop that I've not been able to coerce into dark 
mode so far.

In general dexed is looking quite promising indeed.
