added day night prefix to colour properties

this is my final commitment for the season i will be swimming with the crocs from here on out on a six months expedition from Mozambique to Namibia

if the build fails maybe you can fix the typo this is tested and works in the monet branch

this app is crucial for light weight expeditions and i appreciate everyone's effort to consider my ideas

example configuration

basic day night

~/.termux/colors.properties
cursor=#909090  
day.background=#FFFFFF
day.foreground=#000000                           
nigh.background=#000000            
night.foreground=#ffffff

better night contrast brighter colours

pastel lighten .3 red blue magenta

# red
night.color1=#FFAAAA
night.color9=#FFdddd
# blue
night.color12=#9999ff
# magenta
night.color5=#ff33ff
night.color13=#ff99ff

try to correct bugs

# white
day.color7=#202020
day.color15=#000000

termux-monet patch

the monet patch is here i used the monet fork because the extra keyboard was updated to system colour and i cooperated well with the maintaner that seemed to care about accessibility and usability and merged my patches for an extra keyboard and back button for the input field and drawer working again with back action gestures

regular users

i tried to help regular users also that have enabled day mode in the system and are new to termux or have recently wiped all data and settings and expect a white background with legible contrast
