Improvements on MacOS installer and app #2410

Open HelioGuilherme66 opened 3 years ago

HelioGuilherme66 commented 3 years ago

The MacOS installer was a good PR. But there two things we need to do:

Write instructions on how to edit /etc/paths, have that info (action item) in Run "missing RF" pop-up. The action item should open editor with root auth and try to get the PATH env and conciliate with /etc/paths content
Make app icon not transparent, and have an action item somewhere to propose exchanging icon to dark or light mode.

I want to install RIDE 1.7.4.2, Please share instruction for this to execute on Mac Os. Thanks

@rbradhika530 You have to use Python 2.7 or 3.6 or 3.7. See the README of this project.
