[ Feature req ] Theme following and JSONPath search

[7system7]

Firstly, thank you for this app. I use it under flatpak.

It would be good, if

• the UI can follow the system theme
• and day/night settings (I use GNOME and arch btw. :smile: )
• another good feature could be, if we can search in the JSON w/ JSONPath. (Just like in i.e. Insomnia)

Hi, the app should be following the system theme, at least what I have tested on my system and VBox. Now It is set to follow the system theme, but I think that would be better to give a choice [Auto, Dark, Light]. But haven't tested on vanilla Gnome, at least not thoroughly, god forbid running on Arch :smile: You can check by yourself If the app isn't forced to use the light theme with the app Darkbar or similar.

I will test It in VBox on some Arch+Gnome distro and figure It out, also I will add the manual option. JSONPath would be a nice addition.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, I use GNOME 42.x but cause' the flatpak it does not matter too much. :) I made some settings on flatpak globally to follow the system theme. (libadwaita) I have a Tweaks setting for legacy applications the others use the vanilla Adwaita. Sadly the Prettifier is an exception. (Maybe because the Elementary roots, I do not know, I do not use other Elementary app except this.)

Great, thank you for the info. The system theme following outside of elementaryOS should not be a problem. I guess you are compiling the app and don't use the elementary flatpak repo?

[7system7]

Nope, I do not compile it. 🙂 This is one of the few apps what I use from the Software center - and from the flatpak repo.

Very well, 1.2.9 release will fix this gnome support and 1.3.0 will add the rest.
