Not working for me too, using macos Ventura :(. Looks like it can't be turned off . Execute "defaults write com.apple.safari NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes" but nothing happened.

Hey folks, in Ventura, Safari has a different location. That is the reason why it not showing up right now.

@goodway have you tried defaults write com.apple.Safari NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes.

I think the bundle identifier is case sensitive.

@zenangst sure sir, i tried com.apple.Safari. without success

Odd,"works on my machine."

I'm gonna dig into this and see if I can't ship a new version that includes Safari in the list of applications. Just need to get all the Christmas shopping and preparations out of the way.

Does this issue still not solved? I am also using Ventura, and Safari is not showing in the Gray app. And 'com.apple.Safari' command was not working too.

This works perfectly for me! Thank you so much!

I'll try to ship a new version with Safari support shortly, thank you all for your patience.

Hey, new user here. I just encountered the same problem and was wondering if this issue is solvable? The last comment has been quite a few months ago and no updates on it. Are there any alternate methods to do, since both the app and terminal method doesn't work for me. I'm using macOS Sonoma btw.

Been doing some digging and so far, it seems like Apple has put Safari under lock and key (from an app perspective). The only way for me to change Safari's appearance is to manually edit the plist file while Safari is closed. Gray doesn't get enough permissions to access the plist file, and thus cannot change the appropriate value.

Curious if we could potentially work around this by using a shortcut in the Shortcuts app, as they can have elevated permissions. So even if the new version can show the Safari application, it can't apply any changes to it (for the time being).

hey — @zenangst, you mentioned:

Could you describe precisely how you do this until it’s part of Gray? What I’m trying to achieve is to force Safari to stay in dark mode at all times. But I don’t know how to edit the plist file you’re mentioning. Thanks! 👊
