Add options to disable system dark mode

Very useful app. Hope the author can add an option to let user enable or disable dark mode. The dark mode will cause low contrast with text highlighting for some dictionaries.

Excellent... except

I have nothing but praise for this app. I have used it now for a number of years. It is fast, stable and reliable. Now with ios13 support and dark mode its better.

My only complaint is still no split screen support. When doing language study, the lack of ability to dock the program next to reading material is frustrating.

Even so, this is worth every penny and kudo’s to the great developer.

Incredibly useful

Thank you so much for making this. Best money I ever spent on the App Store.

Are support for shortcuts possible in the future?
