Caprine: Dark mode toggle is not working on Linux

[vanushwashere]

As you can see there is no dark mode but option is checked.
Toggling option have no impact.

OS: KDE neon 5.17
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.0.0-32-generic
DE: KDE 5.63.0 / Plasma 5.17.2
Caprine version: v2.41.0 Installed via .deb package

I second this on Windows 10 64-bit

Caprine v2.41.0

Dark mode does not work for me in v2.41.0 :x:

Dark mode works for me in v2.40.0 :heavy_check_mark: Downgraded to check.

So dark mode has stopped working between v2.40.0 and v2.41.0.

OS: Arch Linux
Caprine version: v2.41.0 Arch Linux package

This appears to have been broken in the changes to source/browser.ts in commit 2c1a3c95a40d1fbb4b3be8a5058269278d1e4e67. Specifically, reverting the change to line 275 of that file (adding back is.macos && to the condition) should fix it. Dark mode is still there and it still works; that commit just made it impossible to enable unless you are on macOS.

For a temporary fix, close Caprine, open ~/.config/Caprine/config.json (on Linux) or %APPDATA%/Caprine/config.json (on Windows), and change "followSystemAppearance": true to "followSystemAppearance": false.

Great, you've found it.

The Follow System Appearance menu item is not visible on Windows and Linux: https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/blob/74416e6c299d3034196d3e48ec7817f41678621c/source/menu.ts#L351

That option is being set to true on my Linux at least, probably because it was unset.

So then the darkMode setting is ignored:
https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/blob/74416e6c299d3034196d3e48ec7817f41678621c/source/browser.ts#L275-L279

Might need to add back is.macos &&, like @cptpcrd is saying.

Okay, I've released 2.41.1 that fixes this issue. 🙂

@CvX Hey, Its not working again. Version 2.51.2 (both Manjaro Official Repository and Snap) 😥
The reason I want to use Caprine is that its more responsive than their damn messenger.com website. But when I cant have a dark mode Im not going to use it because I like to have my eyes not burnet
