Generally loving ‘global’ dark mode … but on occasions wish I could override the setting in an app… sometimes it looks cool - but really makes it harder to use … I’m looking at you ‘Maps’.
To put things into perspective …
Last year we remembered 100 years since the end of WWI.
This year commemorates 80 years since the start of WWII … just 21 years later.
