> Where is the dark theme toggle located? Can't find it.

Not a manual action, the toggle is detected by Win10+ API called from
dwmapi.dll and uxtheme.dll--ShouldAppsUseDarkMode() and
SetPreferredAppMode()--mechanisms that Caolán picked up responding to how we
set the Win10 Settings -> Colors -> "Choose your color" list box 'Light',
'Dark', or 'Custom'.

Unfortunately we have no framework to consume a full XAML based UWP theme from
the WDM. The old legacy GetSysColor() calls no longer suffice and were never
parsed for UI color theme on the Windows builds.

So while we now auto toggle the icon theme to Colibre Dark (thank you Caolán)
we must still select the Tools -> Options -> Application Colors "LibreOffice
Dark" color scheme--where a subset of the VCL widgets have colors set with
defaults that appear OK in a Windows 10+ dark mode--but are not taken from the
theme. 

Application color widgets set 'Automatic' are intended to pick up a color from
os/DE theme, but those are not delivered to Windows builds, so they get set
with defaults.

User can customize either the LibreOffice or the LibreOffice Dark--or
build/save their own UI color scheme. We just can't read it in automatically
from any of the Windows builds.
