    • Added initial support for input methods with pre-edit text.
    • Added a dark theme for the Fluent style, which is automatically selected if the system color scheme is dark.
    • Added fluent-light and fluent-dark as explicit styles to select a light/dark variant, regardless of the system color scheme setting.
