Apple ARM Pre-Release font colors #14

Closed mark-hoy closed 9 months ago

On the plus side, the pre-release loaded without issue on my M2 Macbook Air. So thanks very much !

However, I appear to have white on white lettering, it's white letters on a yellow back ground on a selected box. IF I highlight the box with my cursor, I can get a dark background with light lettering showing up, but it's a royal pain to view all the settings.

Does this happen in "light mode" as well?

mark-hoy commented 9 months ago

I hadn't thought to try that when I was last messing with F-engrave. Switching to "light mode" works perfectly.

mark-hoy commented 9 months ago

Perhaps close this is as an issue as there is a perfect work around, just don't run dark mode.

stephenhouser commented 9 months ago

Perhaps just note in the top-level README. Adapting to light/dark looks to be doable but would involve more complexity than I'm currently willing to add as it would start to vary too far from Scorch's original.

For my future self or anyone else who comes looking: Changing light/dark is easy, but detecting what mode the computer is in, and when it suddenly changes, is the hard part.

Somewhere around line 9342 after root = Tk():

for dark mode add root.configure(bg="black")
for light mode add root.configure(bg="white") which is the default.

Seems totally reasonable to me.
