Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
I updated my macOS to 10.14 Mojave.
QCAD is still running well in "Light Mode".
But when I switch into the new "Dark Mode" text of the QCAD-UI is unreadable (i.e. white Text on white background).
Are there any plans to adapt QCAD to the Dark Mode of macOS Mojave?

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
I cannot reproduce this problem here.
QCAD looks exactly the same in light or dark mode (apart from the menus).
Can you include steps to reproduce, screenshots, etc.?

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
On my iMac the main window looks the same like yours.
But look at the layer-, block- or the other lists.
UNSELECTED text is white on white.

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
Strangely that's not the case here. Looks like it's trying to switch parts of the UI to dark on your system. Which exact package (DMG file name) did you install?

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
Very strange indeed.
I'm using the QCAD release named qcad-3.21.3-pro-osx-10.10-10.13.dmg
Is there any newer release?

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
Hooray, I found a solution...
The problem is in macOS Mojave not in QCAD !!!
Maybe it helps some other Mac Users:
1. open the program TERMINAL
2. type in the following command:
defaults delete -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance
3. restart your Mac
Now QCAD looks in Dark Mode like it has to look.
Thank you Andrew for your help to localize the problem.

Re: Dark Mode in macOS Mojave
Thanks for the info!
You can also opt out of dark mode for QCAD only in it's Info.plist file (QCAD-Pro.app/Contents/Info.plist):
Add these two lines to the bottom (before "</dict>"):
This will be added in the next release of QCAD (until Qt has some way of dealing with Dark mode properly).
