PM 6 interface blocked on black mode

(1/2) > >>

Arno:
Hi,
 
The interface of my PM 6 is in black mode, while the interface of macOS is in light mode.
Dialogs and message boxes are well in light mode as set in PM preferences.
I would prefer to have light mode everywhere and eventually change to black mode when editing late.
So how can I set the interface in light mode? It should be automatic when set in macOS general pref.

Mojave 10.14.4
Photo Mechanic Version 6.0, build 2818

Thanks,
Arno

Hi Arno,

Open the preferences and then go to the accessibility tab and change PM from dark to light mode. It's not an automatic setting (which I like!).

Please note that the light mode currently has some known issues wrt. how things look.

The Contact Sheet window and Preview window will always be in Dark mode on macOS.  The setting in the Accessibility section of the Preferences dialog only controls dialogs and panels, not the Contact Sheet and Preview window.

I already set the accessibility panel in light mode, but this only concerns dialogs and message boxes.
The general interface (light or dark) of PM should be the same as the general interface of macOS.

As I can see on camerabits website (cf attached screenshot), contact sheet and preview windows could be set in light mode.

Unless I'm totally misunderstanding, it sure looks like dark mode to me in your screenshot.  We don't control the window title bar color or the color of the toolbar in the Preview window, macOS does that.
