Removal Issues / Instructions

[darinronne]

I tried uninstalling Gray, but all my per-app settings were still applied.

I reinstalled Gray, set my Mac's Appearance to Light and within Gray set all Apps to "Light appearance". I notice that with some apps when I switch the Mac's Appearance to Dark, some apps still stay Light (even though they do have a Dark mode).

Within Gray when you toggle an app's color mode, there is no way to set it back to "System".

Maybe the app should have a "reset to system default" option. Or provide instruction on how to uninstall Gray, so that your Mac is back to the way it was before you installed it.

Thanks.

@darinronne hey mate, we are still ironing out the kinks here and there and adding proper reset functionality is on our list of features that we aim to implement.

In the meantime, you should be able to reset individual applications by running these types of commands:

defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance

This example is for Xcode but if you change the bundle identifier to correspond with the application that you want to reset, you should be good to go.

If I want to reset VMwave Fusion, what should I do? defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance seems to only work with native app?

Do you know what the bundle identifier is for VMWare Fusion? You could remove the preference list for the app in your ~/Library/Preferences (make a copy of it before throwing it away, I don't know what it contains).

To delete the NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance from the preference file, we need the bundle identifier for the application.

Hey @darinronne and @yb0lyu, we just released version 0.9.0. In that version, we added a reset menu. So use the second mouse button on the application that you want to reset, and you should be able to restore applications. We are working on a better system for resetting mulitple/all apps.
