Gitup: Add a dark theme to style settings, it currently contrast too sharp to some of the text editors.

I have a really rough (but working) dark theme fork implementation I did for myself. It's not complete, but here's how it looks right now:

I really did this for myself only and the dark_mode branch is currently on top of another one of my branches that has markdown enabled, so it's not ready for a pull request at all.

Actually if I were to submit a PR I would probably rewrite it from scratch (and differently).

@swisspol, if you had to implement a dark theme in Gitup, how would you do it ?

[congwenma]

@lapfelix awesome, so eager to use this. Is there a contrast setting?

[lapfelix]

Hmmm yeah as I said this was really built for myself and I like to have a black background (I'm probably a minority), but I could pretty easily let you customize the colors, yes.

( Though I'm trying to not put too much time into this dead-end branch haha )

@lapfelix where can I find the executable that's been built, so I dont have to rebuild this every time i need to use it?

[lapfelix]

Here's the latest build I have for this branch: https://cl.ly/harx/download/GitUp.app.zip

I wouldn't want to add a _Github release_ for this branch because it would feel like openly distributing a forked version of Gitup and I wouldn't be comfortable with that.

Suggestions for color scheme:

any chance of this sort of feature ever landing in git-up/master?

I'm all for dark themes too, find it easier on the eyes. I'm sure once this is put in place a lot of people would start contributing theme files in.

Yes, PLEASE, dark theme. My co-workers kept recommending this over SourceTree, but the bright background and light colors are just too hard on my eyes to stare at!

With support for Mojave Dark Mode #463, I'm going to close this issue. The feature is only available from source at the moment, but we'll be working it into the continuous release channel, and eventually stable.
