Keepassxc: Dark Mode on macOS 10.14 makes texts barely readable

[neroniaky]

When using the macOS 10.14 "Dark Mode" it changes the background color to a dark grey, which makes it really hard to read most texts. (see attached screenshot)

Expected Behavior

1. Either background color does not change,
2. or the text color changes too

Current Behavior

Background color changes but text color does not.

Possible Solution

See expected behaviour.

I think this may need fixing on Qt's side.

Ho did you enable dark mode for KeepassXC? I enabled dark mode on Mac, but KeepassXC is still in light. v2.3.4

@SVilgelm It needs to be compiled on Mojave.

I read an article that Mojave wasn't "dark enough". Looks like you fixed that! /joke

@weslly thanks

KeepassXC always uses the light mode now, so no problem with reading the text anymore. Closing.

P.S. Dark Mode would be a nice feature 😉 .

I can't find any related change in the commit history. Can you give me a hint?

[weslly]

@michaellass the current version binaries weren't compiled under Mojave, so you won't see the broken dark mode unless you compile it yourself.

This issue is duplicated by #3193, which includes a workaround on how to disable broken dark mode support on Mojave.
