Please add an option for Force Dark Mode to follow the Android system theme (light/dark) automatically.

Currently, force-dark can be scheduled by time; an additional “Follow system” mode would improve consistency and reduce manual toggling.

Motivation / Use case

Many users keep Android set to “Dark theme” globally or let the system auto-switch (e.g., based on sunset/sunrise).
When NativeAlpha’s force-dark is tied only to a time schedule, it can fall out of sync with the system theme (traveling across time zones, daylight saving changes, or users who switch theme manually).
Following the system ensures uniform appearance across apps and websites, without extra maintenance.

Thank you for the great app and for considering this enhancement!
