turns out there is a magical incantation to find out whether you're in dark mode. it's neither easy nor intuitive nor documented in any way i'm aware of, but there's a way. seems like it even works with gnome and other desktops that support dark mode

observe:

> qdbus org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop \
    /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop \
    org.freedesktop.portal.Settings.Read \
    org.freedesktop.appearance \
    color-scheme
1

this outputs 1 if in dark mode and 2 if in light mode
