@hoechenberger @mscheltienne . This code:

python -c "import mne; raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(mne.datasets.sample.data_path() / 'MEG' / 'sample' / 'sample_audvis_raw.fif'); raw.plot(theme='auto', block=True)"

Gives

macOS mode theme='auto' theme='dark' theme='light'

Fixes #10486
Fixes mne-tools/mne-qt-browser#100

The one real downside I think is that when the system is in light mode, dark mode uses the qdarkstyle blue-ish dark mode rather than the native macOS dark mode. I think we'd want a PR to qdarkstyle (or something) to try to fix that, as it's probably a large undertaking. In the meantime, this at least gets us closer to native styling on macOS and fixes some bugs.

Todo:

  • Add tests for bgcolors when theme is passed (or 'auto')

On a fresh install with bare minimum mne-python and mne-qt-browser dependencies (installed with python setup.py develop and nothing else), I am still getting a dark theme with theme='light' and I'm getting this warning as well:

To use light mode, "qdarkstyle" has to be installed! You can install it with pip install qdarkstyle

And indeed, after installing qdarkstyle I can now have the light mode with theme='light'. I'm a bit confused, isn't the light theme the default and the dark theme the extra that requires qdarkstyle? 😕

theme= main PR
'dark' dark after-dark
'light' light after-light

On macOS, when in system-dark mode you need qdarkstyle to have the light mode CSS for the browser. When in system-light mode, you need qdarkstyle to have the dark mode CSS for the browser.

(In other words, I think the behavior is expected and installing qdarkstyle was the right thing to do to fix it / the warning worked)

That's unintuitive 😅
By the way, shouldn't qdarkstyle be a dependency of mne-qt-browser? Or at least in a requirement_extra.txt?
Same for psutil, I think I had a warning telling me to install psutil to retrieve available RAM at some point.

Yes qdarkstyle is a bit of a misnomer

This could be useful, feel free to open an issue about this in the mne-qt-browser repo

FYI it also looks like this problem is fixed on Qt>=5.13, so once we move to PySide6 (hopefully, as our default) the workarounds here to make the toolbar and status bar the correct color won't really be needed anymore. On this PR and mne-tools/mne-qt-browser#104 with PyQt6 (or even on mne-qt-browser main with PyQt5 5.13), I get what appears to be a nicely native dark UI when in dark mode, but our workarounds seem okay to me:

Qt >= 5.13 Qt <= 5.12

@hoechenberger any chance to get this merged? It's blocking #10510 / mne-tools/mne-qt-browser#104 etc.
