Ignoring Dark Mode

[HarrysLad]

I have an app that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Unfortunately, neither the macOS nor the Linux versions play well with Dark Mode.
I've found out how to disable/ignore Dark Mode in macOS but does anyone know of a solution for Linux (Ubuntu)?

With Linux, there is no switch for dark mode.
Here you have to change the CSS styles for the application. But I have not yet done this for Global for the application.

Its easy ...

Example to set dark theme. Works only with exiting theme names with '-dark'

Update

Code: Select all

mk-soft,

Thanks for the swift response.
You may have misread my first post. I'm not trying to apply Dark Mode globally, I'm trying to ignore Dark Mode locally!

I just removed the "Debug" reference and changed the
"*Theme = UTF8(ThemeName + "-dark")" line
to
"*Theme = UTF8(ThemeName + "-light")"

and it works like a charm!

Thanks so much. You wouldn't know how to do the same trick in Windows, would you?

But it could be that "xyz-light" does not exist. Then better remove "-dark". As in the example Procedure DarkMode()

Nice. Very nice.
Thanks for that.

Over theme name not always work ..

Thanks for that mk-soft but it doesn't seem to be working on my Ubuntu 20.04 setup.
If the system dark-mode is off the the buttons toggle the app's mode between dark and light as expected.
However, if the system's dark-mode is on then the buttons do nothing (i.e., the dark-mode remains on).
Any ideas?

[mk-soft]

You are right.

Its default theme for application is dark then can not change to default-mode

Update !
also change application theme

Code: Select all

;SetThemeName("Mint-Y")
SetThemeName("Yaru")

or

Code: Select all

    Define Theme.s
    Theme = GetThemeName()
    Theme = RemoveString(Theme, "-dark", #PB_String_NoCase)
    SetThemeName(Theme)
    
    If Not IsDarkMode()
      SetDarkMode(#True)
    EndIf
