Very impressive. Do I win a prize?

Would appreciate feedback on the SPI naming - I put the word "explicitly" in there to make it clear that this isn't the preference coming from the system.

This getter name feels slightly odd (it sounds like it would return a boolean that the "user explicitly prefers (a) color scheme").

Do you think I should call it colorSchemePreference?

or preferredColorScheme? Or maybe shove the word "override" in there somewhere because it overrides the system preference?

Are there other things that read useDarkAppearance that need to change? Should useDarkAppearance itself respect the bit on DocumentLoader?

[Antoine Quint]

There is an existing `ColorScheme` enum with holds the `Light` and `Dark` options. Maybe instead of adding a new enum you could use an std::optional<ColorScheme> where std::nullopt would indicate the lack of a preference?
