[Feature Request] Ability to control dark mode independently from the system

Open Gipetto opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

I like having the OS in Dark Mode but the apps in light mode, otherwise I get headaches reading light text on dark backgrounds.

I can override it via the terminal, but it would be nice to have something less fragile built in to the app.

$  osascript -e 'id of app "NetNewsWire"'                                                                                
com.ranchero.NetNewsWire-Evergreen
$ defaults write com.ranchero.NetNewsWire-Evergreen NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

This is related to #2179 but the work linked there doesn't look to have implemented the appearance suggestion.

@Gipetto Thank you so much for posting a workaround for this. I recently started using NetNewsWire and the white text on black background was giving me a headache. I would have hated to switch to another program just because of this minor issue.

Thanks for the workaround! I was hitting github to request that option too.
