Basically the quote @codebrainz mentioned should describe how theme picking works - and at least on my machine theme selection works automatically for 1.37. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I can confirm that version 1.37 works as anticipated (problem reported for version 1.36, which I thought was latest). -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] Dark / light mode Macos (#22)
1) I do understand that you wish to keep the code the same, but I do disagree that having the suggested setting would disrupt cross-platform conformity. To clairfy the setting I talk about: I think having the possibility to force light/dark for the single Geany application may be useful for some people (also on platforms where you pick up system setting). Such an option would also solve the Macos issue, without disturbing the cross-platform. 2) Regarding adding the setting in a non-Macos fashion (like from the dock), would not follow the standard, but I understand how you think. One such possibility could be to add an extra Mac-specific setting-menu where settings on Macos are normally situated (under the Geany application name; @techee would know). That way, the normal Geany Edit/Settings menu would not need to be touched. Just a suggestion! -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

> That is, double-clicking a file which opens with Geany, makes light mode. > Also starting Geany from the dock defaults to light mode I'm totally macos illiterate, but I would have thought these can be modified to do the setting of `GTK_THEME`. The problem with adding it into a menu in Geany will be that its a macos special since other systems provide their own methods of setting themes, and we don't want conflicts, if its gonna work, it better do it the system way. A better place to add an option might be in the macos [launcher](https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/blob/master/Launcher/geany/geany/main.m), then it may work in all situations, thats something a macos expert like @techee will have to comment on. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] Dark / light mode Macos (#22)
The solution https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issuecomment-772130658 works from command line `export GTK_THEME=Mojave-light-solid:dark; open -a geany` **_BUT_**, it does not work in normal Mac workflow. That is, double-clicking a file which opens with Geany, makes light mode. Also starting Geany from the dock defaults to light mode There is a `settings.ini` in the Macos bundle. Adding the following allows for dark-mode works: `gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true` I don't think gsettings exist for Macos. **_For the average user_**, I think the best solution would be to keep Macos bundle intact. To reiterate: now two bundle-based alternatives exists (`gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true`, or changing `gtk-dark.css` file names as in original post https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issue-799806336). At least theoretically, maybe one of these could be jacked into to allow dark-mode setting from inside Geany menus?

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] Dark / light mode Macos (#22)
> As a last resource (not as good) allow and document a "less hacky" way to > change to dark mode... If you set the `GTK_THEME` environment variable you should be able to switch to the dark version, for example setting the environment variable to `GTK_THEME=Mojave-light-solid:dark` should work. There are a few other ways using `settings.ini` file and `gsettings` as well, but I'm not really sure what's available/included in the Macos bundle. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] Dark / light mode Macos (#22)
Except for the editing window, Geany follows your GTK theme, so on systems where GTK theming is set by the system (like my Linux Mint here) it just works if your machine is set to a dark theme, so the problem is basically Macos specific where GTK doesn't follow the system theme it seems.
