Robomongo: Robomongo 0.9 theming issues

[Redsandro]

I'm running a dark theme because of reasons. Robomongo 0.8 came with it's own bright colors. That works.

Robomongo 0.9 however seems to mix elements (tab color light, font color from theme, also light) which makes it hard to read.

Example theme: github.com: vertex-theme

Hi @Redsandro , thanks for reporting the issue. We will investigate the issue.
Can you tell us your OS version information and best way to reproduce the issue, just using theme github.com: vertex-theme is enough?

[Redsandro]

@simsekgokhan thanks for looking into this. Yes, use the vertex-dark theme in the theme selector. Tested on Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon. Ubuntu 16.04 should do the same.

-update-

You don't need to install an external theme. In Linux Mint 18 you can choose the new Mint-Y-Dark theme, and it has the same problem. Although a tiny bit more readable.

Hi, i use KDE5 with Breeze Dark theme and reproduce this issue.

I'm also using KDE Breeze Dark theme and have the same problem. You need to use the Palette colours instead of hardcoding your colours. See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html#paletterole

I'd also prefer it if Robo 3T could pick up my KDE theme, rather than just using Fusion.

Is there at least temporary workaround for this issue?

[petersaints]

This still happens today. Is there any work around to force Robo 3T to use the Light colors instead of the dark ones?

I am also facing this problem on KDE5 Breeze dark

Facing the same issue with all dark themes on KDE. Including Breeze Dark
Have to shift to light theme just for this app :disappointed:

Seems simple enough please fix it asap. Or is there any workaround available?

try defaults write com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

try defaults write com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

This worked in MacOS for me

try defaults write com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

Thanks, this also worked on macOS Catalina for me. It was unusable without this.
