1. Implement Theme Mode = Auto to select Light/Dark theme from operating system setting; 2. Rename Auto to System.

[ovari]

1. Set operating system to use dark theme.
2. Open MMEX.
3. Buttons in the top row could be better.
4. Dashboard shows in light theme.

Thank you

It would be helpful to know with which operating system and which MMEX version the error occurs.

[n-stein]

MMEX doesn't currently auto-detect when the OS is in dark mode.

You have to manually switch to the dark theme using the theme manager (or view options) to get the white icons and the dark dashboard.

@n-stein does that mean that Theme Mode = Auto, shown in the image below, is not yet implemented?

@vomikan should the question label be removed?

Thank you

[n-stein]

Correct, it is not yet implemented. Right now Auto == Light.

[n-stein]

Correct, it is not yet implemented. Right now Auto == Light.

Sorry, I need to be more specific here. It is implemented on macOS only. It is not implemented yet for Windows or Linux.

[n-stein]

Fixed for Linux.

The exact same code works for Windows, but perhaps we should hold off on the Windows change until dark mode is improved on that platform. Thoughts?

[ovari]

Should Auto be changed to System?

Something is better than nothing. Can the improvements please be applied?

[n-stein]

Can the improvements please be applied?

They already were. They were merged after the nightly build, so check the beta tomorrow.

Is #5866 all that is needed to change Auto to System?

[n-stein]

Is #5866 all that is needed to change Auto to System?

I believe so. Everything is based on the index of the choices rather than the text strings themselves. As long as "System" remains the first option (index 0) it should work.

Can you please merge?

[ovari]

Can the theme please update if MMEX is opened and then the system theme is changed?

Firefox does this if there are pointers in the Firefox code.

Thank you
