I would appreciate OS-independent APIs to get system colors, like for controls, backgrounds, text, etc. And it should properly respond to system theme change, like dark/light or even custom. Is there something like this on the roadmap?

Kinda like Java’s <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/SystemColor.html|SystemColor>

I'm not sure but maybe `isSystemInDarkTheme` will work? <https://github.com/arkivanov/android-dev-challenge-compose-1/blob/753201f65d7a00f0c6b9eedc3a06680d36eec162/app/src/main/java/com/example/androiddevchallenge/ui/theme/Theme.kt#L46|https://github.com/arkivanov/android-dev-challenge-compose-1/blob/753201f65d7a00f0c6b9eedc3a06680d36eec162/app/src/main/java/com/example/androiddevchallenge/ui/theme/Theme.kt#L46>

We've been burned pretty hard on things like this in the past. Design systems and platform capabilities overlap in some places but vary dramatically in others. I would want to see a very concrete proposal and plan for evolution over time before committing to something meant to be universal.

Until then things like the dark theme API listed above will likely be augmented by some design system considerations for things like that
