MacOS Mojave Dark Mode Support

[eliheuer]

MacOS 10.14 Mojave
wxPython 4.0.3 installed from PyPI
Python 3.7.0 installed from Brew

I have MacOS set to "Dark Mode", but the wxPython sample applications don't use the Dark Mode styles. See the screenshot below:

I wouldn't expect this to happen in 4.0.x, but it probably will in the 4.1 series (which will be based on wxWidgets 3.1)

wxWidgets 3.1.1 supports dark mode fine (this is the C++ version, wxPython still doesn't, unfortunately):

Although, it doesn't actually support the dark mode background out of the box. I had to manually set the background to Apple's dark background color, which is RGB 21, 21, 21 (including wxWidgets' retarded color handling, the actual color is 35, 35, 35 IIRC)

And it also doesn't support Apple's tinting thing, which means all the dark elements will be tinted based on your desktop, which may look weird on your non-tinted window.

You can see the difference here (window positioned at the edge of my desktop versus the center):

You can see the difference between the titlebar and the window here.
I think once wxWidgets gets this fixed, wxPython will get the fix too... not sure though.

Never used to work for me, but is working now with Big Sur. Does anyone still have this issue?

Correction, it works for me, but only on BigSur 11.1. It doesn't work for me on macOS 10.15 or 10.14. I am using:

wxPython 4.1.1
wxWidgets 3.1.4
py2app (for the bundling)

Any ideas?
