Dark mode setting does nothing #436

Closed Protuhj closed 7 months ago

Protuhj commented 9 months ago

Win64 .msi install Windows 11 Professional image

I go to settings, check "Dark Mode", hit 'Ok' and nothing happens.

When I open settings again. "Dark Mode" is no longer checked.

Working fine here image Is the app in a location on your PC where you don't have write rights, so it cannot save the theme setting?

I can run as Administrator and it still fails. I can try to record a video if you don't believe I'm doing it right.

From the little I looked at (and understand) the code, it checks if dark mode is supported. Maybe that doesn't work correctly in Win 11 pro?

Edit: yes. You have to enable the Dark Mode theme in Win 11. I wouldn't expect them to be related, but that fixes the problem.

Maybe it would be helpful to warn the user they need to do that? Otherwise it just looks like it does nothing.
