I dont think we are going to enable dark mode in JDk16 so we will have time to think on that when we enable that and hopefully Apple will come back by that time and we can revisit this.

I dot see any further legibility issue with dark mode in macos11 (set with General->Theme)with SwingSet2 unless there's a dark mode commandline option to enable it for Java, which I am unaware of.
