Actual Dark Mode for MuseScore
I really want MuseScore to have an ACTUAL Dark Mode, by which I don’t mean just the background and stuff surrounding the score becomes black, I mean the entire score gets transformed into a Dark Theme, as well. What I mean by that is I want all the elements in the score (title, subtitle, composer, clefs, lines, bars, notes, lyrics, dynamics, etc) to be white as well as the background of the score (or, I guess, “paper,” so to speak) to be dark. This would REALLY save my retinas from getting burned every time I open up MuseScore on my computer, especially since I often edit in a dark room, and would like to post my finished compositions onto YouTube without BLASTING out a ton of light into the viewer(s)’ eyeballs. I’ve copied & pasted a picture from a forum I’ve already seen here on the website so y’all can get a better understanding of exactly what I mean and want.

It'll come with MuseScore 4

Oh yeahhh… Sorry, I completely forgot I already posted about this smh 🤦♂️
I just hope MuseScore’s development team knows about this and implements this into MuseScore into the future.

And as I I explained, you don't need to wait for MsueScore 4, you can have this today, in just seconds, by going to your Windows accessibility settings and turning on "invert colors". It's way better than doing it in MuseScore because it works for all programs.
You can already get what's in that screenshot in the current version, by altering paper and default colors in preferences. The only disadvantage currently is that this also affects the printed/exported colors.
Themes and color schemes have been redesigned for MS4 and I believe such a mode at least has been considered, I'm not sure whether it has already been implemented.
You don't say what OS you are on, but most support this already, in their accessibility options. So you don't need to wait for MsueScore to add it's own support that only works in MsueScore, just turn it on for your computer and all applications will work that way until you turn it off again.
