LightBurn 1.7.00-RC-7 @ 779c5c3 & MacOS Dark mode

[GryphonsMoon (Bill)]

I found a reference to this problem back in April and there seemed to be recognition of it and plans to fix it, but it seems to still be there in the RC.
When the Mac switches to dark mode, the interface is almost unusable - Black icons on dark grey background.

Seems the DarkMode is still being rendered on RC8
Could you try and report back please?

This feature will probably be available on RC9 @GryphonsMoon

RC8 still has the issue. Good to know it’s on the way. It’s a small thing, but will be welcome.

Looks like they switched off darkmode altogether in RC10.
