This is a little off-topic, but for anyone looking for a dark "theme" for 7zip, look here, at Dark7Zip. It too was just updated to 26.00.

7-Zip 26.01

What's new in 7-Zip 26.01:​

• linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
• new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
  -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory. The asterisk (*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
  -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name to form the final path to the output directory.
  -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name. This is the default option.
• some bugs were fixed.
