General UI (looks like Windows, not native):

You are correct, the dark mode is horrible, cant read anything. Now I have to switch back to light mode in my MAC OS just for robo3T. Is this going to be fixed soon. This is a terrible customer experience.

Ahhh shoot I installed the new version over 1.3. Anyone have a link to download 1.3 again???

Confirmed. Dark mode seems to be missing some dark background colors.

Hi all, we are very sorry for this problem. It is probably the result of Qt upgrade in this version which was unplanned and we had to do it last minute. We will make sure that dark mode is checked carefully during dev. and QA in future versions.

This seems to be working for us as a workaround, can you try this command on terminal ?

// Disable dark mode for Robo 3T
defaults write com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

And if it does not fix it, older releases are here:
https://github.com/Studio3T/robomongo/releases/

Also to reset Robo 3T theme (enable dark mode)
defaults delete com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance

Thanks for, not to change my mac dark theme to light mode or downgrade robo 3T lol.
It works well on my mac.

But, it would be great if it's fixed soon.

Anyway, thanks for great tool guys-

same :)

@yeukfei02
This is the command you need to paste:
defaults write com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

The one you mentioned is the one to re-enable the dark mode

[simsekgokhan]

Hi all, seems like Qt does have some problems with dark mode support. So, we are now preparing a patch version 1.4.1 to force the light mode on macOS (and to fix the broken macOS native theme/look #1766 as well). It is still in pre-release state, but it will be great if you can make a quick test and let us know if it works.

Steps to test the (pre-release) patch:

• If you have already disabled the dark mode using the work-around here https://github.com/Studio3T/robomongo/issues/1761#issuecomment-687281760, then first reset Robo 3T theme (to enable dark mode)
  defaults delete com.3tsoftwarelabs.robo3t NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance
• Open Robo 1.4.0 and see the problematic dark mode
• Download the (pre-release) patch version -> Robo 1.4.1
• Open Robo 1.4.1 - hopefully it will work and start in light mode (and with native look #1766).

Please let us know the result. Thanks in advance.

[lenovouser]

@simsekgokhan that fixed it, yeah 👍🏻

[patrickvdvelden]

Installed 1.4 on OS X 10.15.6 in Dark Mode: problems were visible.
Installed 1.4.1: GUI was automagically switched to light mode.

Works as intended!

[osadchiynikita]

@simsekgokhan Thanks team for the fix. On OS X 10.15.6 (19G2021) with Dark mode works as expected (light mode without bugs)
