Doesn’t support dark mode?

Doesn’t seem to support dark mode. You can change fonts (a limited selection), but not the color of the font. So, depending on what colors you want for the battery, it often obscures the text, which seems to be either white or black, but I don’t know what determines that. I’m just looking for something more colorful than Apple’s stock battery indicator, but this really doesn’t work well enough.

It looks nice and clean, and I love that it tells you how much time remaining and how much time is left to charge. Super helpful!
