Description of the new feature / enhancement

Selectively invert colors of applications, override the default 'light mode' rendering via the magnifier's 'docked mode':

Example of how it is done: LINK

From the above link (Greenonline's answer):

So to achieve what you require, you will have to use in Docked mode, specifying a region occupied by a window (adjust the window to your particular tastes beforehand). Unfortunately, you can not thereafter move the window and expect the magnifier to follow it, but you can always "re-dock" the magnifier to the new window position. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

The above-provided answer does not perfectly work as it follows
My intention is to make this "re-docking" automated with the help of power toys. Hence, providing a perpetual dark mode.

Scenario when this would be used?

Let's say that you are working in a dark system theme, and have configured most of your applications in dark mode, but there is a new app that cannot be configured into dark mode. Consider that we need to follow a workflow that requires this 'light /default mode' app to run alongside the dark mode apps. This would cause eye strain.

The selective app color invert can be used to invert the colors of the selected application in an easy manner. reopening the app would still be overridden with the color inversion applied.

Example:
I always use my apps in dark mode, but Veroroute is in light mode by default:

However, using the magnifiers' (docked mode +invert colors), it is easy on the eyes... almost:

honestly, Windows Feedback hub would be a better spot for this as it would really benefit accessibility.

Is this issue getting looked into?

Frankly I don't think this would be priority here.

Many more features are lacking like this in powershell as well, so moved to arch last year.

Yeah, this would be a life saving feature. When all your apps support dark mode except one it can be a real bummer :D.
