Re: RM4292 - Dark mode support for Windows/macOS

Hi Dave,

I reviewed and tested the code on Windows and fixed below issues. Except below, it looks good to me.

• Compilation error on windows

• In configuration window, "maximumSize" of the control is provided along with "minimumSize" so it prevents control from expanding when the user resizes the window. Removed maxSize and set as default.

A Couple of points for discussion.

• AFAIK - Users need to manually set the "AppsUseLightTheme" value in the registry, right ? Do we need to document that somewhere ?

• As we have introduced 2 new "dark.qss" & "light.qss" files, so during packaging we need to make sure that it should reside along with "pgAdmin4" application binary otherwise those css will not be applied at runtime. right ?

• Checkbox is not visible in Configure window UI as per below screenshot. Are you able to see on Mac ? If no, I can take a look at it.

Attached is the updated patch.

Thanks,

Neel Patel

The attached patch detects if dark mode is enabled on Windows (10+)/macOS (10.14+) at server start, and styles the runtime accordingly. It doesn't dynamically switch if the user changes their preferences.

Linux builds continue to use the standard styling from Qt.

NOTE: I've tested this on macOS, but my Windows build system is playing up at the moment. Akshay, can you have someone on your team test it please? I believe the code should work; it's just a case of reading a reg key and then doing the same thing as on macOS to set the theme accordingly.
