The theme could only be chosen in the View tab's Display theme box, and
the app always started light. Now:
- a title-bar button switches light/dark in one click (view.darkMode);
right-click offers System / Light / Dark;
- File › Display theme offers the same three (Excel keeps it under
File › Account › Office Theme);
- the desktop app follows the system appearance until a theme is chosen
and saved in ui.json (UiState's default stays light for tests).

winit reports no system theme on Linux — `ActiveEventLoop::system_theme()` is
`None` there on every desktop — so `System` in the appearance setting never saw
the desktop's choice and fell back to light. A new `desktop_theme` module asks
the XDG Desktop Portal's Settings interface for
`org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme` on a thread of its own, so no
D-Bus call is ever made from the frame loop, and the app follows the answer,
including a change made while it runs.
egui resolves `ThemePreference::System` from what winit reports and offers no
way to set that itself, so where a desktop answered, the app hands egui the
concrete theme instead. What is drawn is unchanged on macOS and Windows, where
winit answers and the same resolution happens a step earlier; the saved
preference is still `system`, so a file keeps meaning the same thing.
The colour scheme is asked for under its GNOME schema name first, which GNOME's
portal and XFCE's both answer, then under the older freedesktop one, which KDE
answers. A desktop that answers neither leaves the user's own choice alone.
- UiState::default() is English: tests, the kittest harness and the
snapshot example no longer depend on the host's locale. The desktop app
alone starts from the system language, when ui.json names no supported
language (first run, an older file, an unknown value).
- An unknown or malformed saved language reads as English instead of
failing the whole UiState and resetting every other preference.
- app.language.set takes {"language": "ja"} (with `code` as an alias, the
name the PR description used); the View combo now uses it via
Language::code(). The app.language.* commands are listed by
engine.commands with the other UI commands and documented in
docs/control-protocol.md.
- Home's text "Orientation" (方向) and Page Layout's print "Orientation"
(印刷の向き) get separate keys through a `context|label` key form.
- Japanese: Hide Rows → 行を表示しない, Trace Dependents → 参照先のトレース;
translate the display-theme combo merged in from main.
- system_theme test: the View tab now has two combo boxes; pick the theme one.
