Pages on MacOS and DarkMode. Documents remain white. Ridiculous.

I do not understand what´s so difficult about implementing a real DarkMode in Pages. Documents remain white, whilst the App is running in DarkMode. Why the heck do I have to create a complex workflow, to get Documents look like they way the should be? Why isn´t there an option in the Menu/Display Section to switch at least this feature on/off? Or in preferences? O boy...

Try this:

System Preferences > Accessibility > the Display tab > click "Invert Colors". This will give you white type on a black page. I don't know what this would look like with Dark Mode also turned on; I have Lion 10.7.5. Try it without Dark Mode first.

Pages is a word processor -- showing a document in "dark mode" would change the content of the document. Meaning, using a dark background and white font (for instance) inherently changes the content of the document. So I don't understand what would be the request to Apple on this one. No different than forcing "dark" on presentations in Keynote.
