[MacOS] OpenSesame doesn't play well with Mojave's dark mode (but almost does)

Open dschreij opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

MacOS Mojave now has a 'dark mode' of the GUI, where all panels are dark and text is white (e.g. a negative polarity). I was pleased to find out that OpenSesame (or maybe rather Qt) copes with this really well out of the box, but some components do not adapt nicely to the change, such as for example the tree widget:

They are far and between though, so it should be easy to make OpenSesame fully compatible with dark mode displays. This does however mean that some signature OpenSesame looks may have to be altered to make this possible.

What do you think? If I'm not mistaken, Gnome also has light and dark themes. Have you ever bumped into this 'issue' before in there?

Thanks for testing this. In principle I'm not opposed to tweaking the qss so that it works better with this dark theme.

The results are generally poor for anything that's not a vanilla Gnome application.

I'll look into this soon, hopefully.
