UI problem under macOS dark theme (black text on the dark background) #55

There are some problems with dark UI in macOS, the most notable issue being that some elements and texts remain black on the dark background.

(BTW, sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to turn off the dark scheme for this specific app to avoid problems with the dark UI?)

rezonator dosen't properly support dark themes yet, this is need to be added.

is there a way to turn off the dark scheme for this specific app to avoid problems with the dark UI?

Yes, it is thankfully - open a terminal and type

defaults write com.yourcompany.rezonator NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes

then the app should always be in light theme.

com.yourcompany.rezonator is an application bundle name (which will be changed to org.orion-project.rezontaor, so you'll probably need to apply the fix again after next update)

This way you can "fix" other apps in your system. To find app bundle name use the command

osascript -e 'id of app "NAME_OF_APP"'

for example 

osascript -e 'id of app "safari"'
> com.apple.Safari

@zhiyuanzhai please check the new version, it should have same colors on both light and dark themes

And thanks for catching! I don't use the dark theme so haven't noticed the issue, but I know people like dark themes so the app should be usable on both. Unfortunately I don't have time to support both light and dark theme so the app will be light on both.
