Please consider adding dual light/dark mode backgrounds. In other words, if this feature request is implemented, the Background panel in settings would have two "Choose a file" buttons, one for the default/light background and another for the dark background. The backgrounds would switch depending on the OS dark mode state via prefers-color-scheme.

I'm happy for the opportunity to help you to understand the benefit: in many applications which display a live-updated feed of posts, indeed in some of those most widely used feed-based applications in the world, the behaviour is as I described. This means that right off the bat, some subset of users will be looking for an option like this. Now, asides from those users - who expect this feature based on established UI conventions in modern computer news feeds - there are others who would want to activate it for a particular purpose: for example, a news dashboard which scrolls the headlines. In fact, the stock ticker came into wide use around 1870, so this ui convention predates our discussion by a century and a half.

regarding the complexity, surely, there is one function which updates the list when the automatic refresh delivers results. I propose adding one (1) conditional to check the option value, and (1) call to scroll_to. is that too much complexity to provide a feature which has been a conventional feature of news tickers for 150 years?

how about an option for users, just like there's an option for sort order, refresh interval, etc?

What is the fundamental goal that this feature will enable? Observing the news feed as it updates without requiring the user to manually interact with it. This is important for applications like kiosk dashboards, where user interaction is impossible, unexpected, or rare. It's also important for users who wish to concentrate on other applications, but still wish to see their feed updating as articles come in.

Why are the tools Newsflash provides right now not enough to accomplish this goal? Newsflash does not scroll to new content when it updates (if sorting newest first, newsflash does not scroll to top; if sorting oldest first, newsflash does not scroll to bottom)

Provide a detailed description of a solution to the problem (please keep the bigger picture in mind and don't just focus on your exact work-flow): Each time newsflash adds new articles to the feed - whether via automatic (timed) updates or via manual updates (button click or keyboard shortcut), the feed should be automatically scrolled such that the newest article added to the feed is visible in the feed list.
