darktheme

[graziano]

hello everyone, with the new version of qcad Version: 3.26.2.0 (3.26.2) on macOS 10.13.6
I have dark theme display issues.
As you can see from the attached images the icons are black on a dark background and are hard to distinguish.
In addition, the option to choose themes has disappeared from the menu of preferences.
does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it ??
bye

Andrew,

Thank you for the tip. I also reset my config on my Mac and noticed that the theme option was still missing from app preferences. Was the reset supposed to restore the theme option? It did resolve some of the issues from this discussion https://qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8383 so that is good news. Is it a situation where the QCAD dark theme will no longer work properly on MacOS? I prefer not to use the MacOS system dark theme because I like everything besides QCAD to be the normal light colors.

Themes were removed from QCAD for macOS as there are various problems with them on macOS.

On macOS, the operating system handles dark mode / light mode and also switches apps between modes. It's possible to keep certain apps in light mode when dark mode is on, but I'm not aware of an easy way to keep only one app dark in light mode.

I've seen hints on the Internet of people essentially running dark mode but forcing all but one app to use light mode instead.

Thank you for the clarification and the link Andrew. I will investigate!
