*I meant doesn't automatically switch to dark mode, not doesn't support. You can manually switch it to dark mode but it would be nice if it could do it automatically.
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2022-07-17 11:25:07 UTC 
We have code to do this for Windows in KColorSchemeManager. It reads the system preferenceand switches between Breeze Light and Dark accordingly

Someone would need to add a macOS variant of that code
