Simple dark text editor GUI using pyQT

I was a bit tired of the Notepad aplication that Windows has for the simple texts since it cannot be configured to be in dark mode. I know I can use some IDE like VSC but for simple things it is handy to have an easy launch simple text editor. That's why I have programmed this one. Also for fun of learning PyQT.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Just run the main file by typing:

python main.py

If you just one to have it as an executable you can use pyinstaller that can be installed using pip:

pip install pyinstaller

And then run:

pyinstaller main.py 

That will generate the desired .exe file in Windows.
