Ignoring Dark Mode

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.

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()

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?

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
