Topic: macintosh dark mode problems

i'm using the intel macintosh build on Monterrey (12.x)

for some reason qelectrotech dosen't respect the preeferneces setting "Use system colors", it always uses the system colors.

is there a work around for this? apart from just turning off dark mode in the Control panel?

Re: macintosh dark mode problems

Maybe you could try arummler CI/CD and get last 0.200.1 for your intel Mac?

Re: macintosh dark mode problems

thanks for the link to the alternative build.

i'm now running 0.200.1

will these builds be available going forward?


i have modified the style.css which does somewhat improve the situation.

the configuration directory is not ~/.qet on macintosh, it's: ~/Library/Preferences/QElectroTech/QElectroTech

This is a temporary fix whilst we sort out a few points.
And I’ve just noticed that his master branch is out of sync with the official one, so the packages on his CI/CD are behind.
