event 'platform-theme-changed' removed?!!!

[MathijsvVelde]

• Electron version: v0.37.8+
• Operating system: *

The tray icon in my app changes color depending on the current theme of the menu bar (OSX)
So I was depending on the event platform-theme-changed in electron.app
If it was just moved, I did not mind, but it is removed, in this PR to be precise (#5282). 😢

Can you please put back again, as it must in electron.SystemPreferences?

Thanks!

It was replaced by the much more powerful subscribeNotification which can achieve the same effect.
If you feel lazy you can use https://github.com/danhp/electron-osx-appearance instead of looking things up.

Okay,
Thanks for the quick reply.
It seems that I missed the deprecated warning.

Thanks 👍

@danhp @MathijsvVelde - I was trying to use as:

const {systemPreferences} = require('electron')
app.on('platform-theme-changed', function () {
    console.log(`Platform theme changed. In dark mode? ${systemPreferences.isDarkMode()}`)
})

do you have an example with subscribeNotification, please?
