Map tiles are going to be too bright in dark mode. The question is then what to do with them. There are two options: dim them or invert them, and the existing dark themes like this one may offer a choice.

Here I'm making a conservative choice of 80% dimming.

This looks reasonable to me... I'm no expert on dark mode but the tiles are every bright without this and much more reasonable with it though I did have to turn my laptop brightness up a bit but I suspect that's just something I would have to do if I used dark mode as I normally keep it quite low.

You left out the third option of not changing anything! Just leaving my two cents here to say this should be reverted. Thanks.

Why dim the entire map? This makes things very difficult to read... Maybe a toggle to dim the map would be more appropriate. (As well as a toggle for dark mode in general)
