$ dark-mode --version
2.0.1

The program takes a few minutes to produce the error message. dark-mode on also takes several minutes to run but doesn't produce any output and doesn't enable dark mode. Everything worked fine yesterday.

dark-mode seems incapable of changing the Menu Bar's theme in 10.12 Public Beta. The tool runs successfully and reports no errors that I can see, but only the Dock is changed to dark mode.

👋 per build log, dark-mode v3.0.1 does not build and run on apple silicon. Thanks!

The CLI usage could be dark-mode auto.

The dark mode in the appearance preferences object is boolean. Seems it's impossible to set appearance to auto with a simple AppleScript.

I found a discussion at https://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=48730.

But if there is any other way to set appearance to auto, it would be a great feature.

I guess you already know about this and it was an intentional decision but the readme still states that dark-mode works with MacOS 10.10 or later.
Running on 10.13.6 (because my work machine does not support Mojave) I get the following error every time I run brew upgrade:

dark-mode: macOS Mojave or newer is required.
Error: dark-mode: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build

If this was unintentional I would really appreciate a fix since I quite enjoy using dark-mode especially because it's not officially supported on my mac. If it was not, I can submit a PR to change the readme if you want me to and try to find an alternate solution.

Update: I read #16 (which I obviously should've before submitting this) and now know that this was semi-intentional. I sadly don't know enough about xcode to know if it is possible to fix this though.

$ dark-mode status
Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

Subsequently, kill -9 is unable to terminate the process.

macOS 10.14.5.

The latest released version does not compile with Xcode 11 (because of the swift version used). Could you release a new version so we can ship it in Homebrew?

This package is certainly functional, but it performs a single highly-specific task and no more. I found it in awesome-nodejs(the author of awesome-nodejs is also the author of this package, interestingly).
Does this package demonstrate something highly interesting? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

When installing dark-mode via homebrew on a brand new macOS 10.12.3 installation, the menu-bar breaks.

Only the dock turns dark when activating dark-mode, and confirmed that using the system preference pane to do so (prior to install) works fine. After installing dark-mode, using the system pref UI will ONLY turn the menu-bar dark, and will no longer control the dock.

A complete uninstall does not solve this problem.

Tests are failing locally on and on Travis.

After playing around with dark-mode, it left my system in a mixed-mode state. The menubar is dark, but the backgrounds for the Dock and the Cmd-Tab display are light.

This mixed-state persists no matter what I do in System Preferences. It also persists after full reboots.

The good news is that code is working perfectly with 10.14
that will be great is to have it the accent colours and highlights as command lines too..

i see you published this to npm but there's no package.json here.

I had declined the Authorization for editing system preference from the terminal, which prompted after I first time run the dark-mode.

After some searching and looking around, I think it was linked to nsapplescript. But I don't know how to fix it or to regenerate that prompt.

I was using MacOS Mojave 10.14 (18A391)
