Hi,

The Extra Panel not change to dark/light mode when the system changed.

Restart the app not help only when quit and reopen work.

I noticed it start from sometimes on 0.2.3 updated until now.

Good catch @olivergiangvu! This happens if you use Alfred on more than one machine, and AlfredExtraPane.app is launched directly (as opposed to from a workflow script filter). Alfred stores the theme info inside a "local preferences folder" (this allows most of your settings and workflows to be synced, and still use different themes on different machines). The only way to correctly find this folder is using the alfred_preferences_localhash environment variable, which is available to programs only if they are started from within a workflow script.

To get around this, launch the extra pane from your workflow script using open -g /Applications/AlfredExtraPane.app
