Dark Mode

[JoshDavisATI]

I am new to LogExpert. I just grabbed the 1.20.0 zip and am using Windows 11. I started it and went into settings. I clicked the box for dark mode, hit OK, then exited and restarted LogExpert. The appearance did not change. I went into settings and see that the dark mode checkbox is still checked. Am I doing something wrong?

I was also confused by that but then looked at the commit history. Dark mode code was removed in commit a00f7ef before release of 1.20.0 but the checkbox wasn't.

I guess, the plan is to rely in native dark mode which is supported starting from .Net 10. See discussion under issue #418.
Maybe @Hirogen can shine some light on this?

yes, darkmode will be back with .net 10 since it will be supported natively and does not ned any programming from our side

Darkmode will be realised with the API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.application.setcolormode?view=windowsdesktop-9.0#system-windows-forms-application-setcolormode(system-windows-forms-systemcolormode) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/winforms/whats-new/net100
