I really need the dark mode program "everything" , but it is still an alpha version and I am fear that it may have a bug in terms of security, that is, it may forget something while searching, or corrupt a file, or other risky things. Do you think it is safe? Can I use it safely?It still has the label of alpha, which is considered more dangerous than beta

    Hi,

    pre-release software can never be considered safe. if you run ANY pre-release software you should make sure that you have regular, good backups.

    Everything is not likely to be a security risk as long as you get it from the official site.

    But any pre-release software is likely to contain bugs some of which may have serious consequences, eg loss of data or security.

    you would need to check with the developer for any known issues.
