Dark Mode Options not Visible

Open Jarmill opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Floris-Jan,

I just downloaded your app, and am using the win32 x64 release on a Windows 10 machine.

Where is the option/shortcut to enable dark mode? I am unable to access the native-overleaf preferences menu, neither in the project page nor in a file directly.

Also, I receive a popup from the `word count' option which promptly disappears after outputting a red error message.

Best regards,

Jarmill

Never mind.

I installed it in "Program Files (x86)" rather than "Program Files". The dark mode options now appear.

Thanks.

I have found a new behavior/issue.

When a project file is opened by the overleaf client (left mouse button), the extended preferences and the dark-mode options appear. When a project is opened from a middle-mouse-button, the dark mode options do not appear. Furthermore, clicking the 'home' icon using the middle mouse button leads to a new window where the project page does not have dark mode enabled.

Also, is it possible to enable dark mode by default?

Hi Jarmill, sorry to get back to you only now. I will look into this later, I currently don't have a middle mouse button option. In the meantime, what do you mean by enabling dark mode by default? If you set both the light and dark mode themes to the same dark theme, it should always be dark. Do you mean on restarting, these preferences are not saved?

@Jarmill do you have any input on this?

So as for the middle mouse button: on Mac this works fine for me, it opens in a new tab. However, on Windows this opens the link in a new window by default. I'll need to look into this some other time.

The middle mouse button works (thanks!). Dark mode also works when inside a project/file.

However, the main project page still has a white background. Is it possible to set the main project page to a dark background?
