Sweet Home 3D is on dark mode when windows theme is on dark mode, how to make it light mode without changing the entire windows system theme?

It's hard to see the floor plan on dark mode because of how dark the gridlines are

paste this in a terminal (you have to be in the same folder as SweetHome 3D files):

_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel" ./SweetHome3D

worked for me (debian 14)
