Define colors by file type: Wrong automatic colors in dark mode

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Just change them yourself
That is why it would be nice with a wincmd.ini option to not have any conversion done.

Habe you actually tried with unconverted colors? In most cases, this is completely unreadable.

Yes - because the converted colors where mostly just shades of white, I manually copied all the ordinary colors to the corresponding dark color settings in wincmd.ini (for example copied ColorFilter1Color=16744576 to ColorFilter1ColorDark=16744576,16744576)

Thereafter I manually adjusted the luminance (if necessary)) with the vertical slider in the color picker - this was much easier, than starting all over with the almost white colors suggested by the automatic conversion.
