Dear platform devs,

In macOS 10.14 and later, users can choose to adopt a dark system-wide appearance instead of a light appearance (called Dark Mode See https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/visual-design/dark-mode/).

Has somebody already tested Eclipse on the macOS 10.14 beta? How does this OS dark mode interact with Eclipses Light and Dark Theme?

I'm not a Mac user but the following might help as we have gone through similar path on GTK.
There is a fragment http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.e4.ui.swt.gtk that checks if Eclipse Theme is dark and flips the GTK property so it auto adjusts most of the colors to match thus giving really good result on proper GTK themes (aka not Ubuntu as Ubuntu themes don't ship dark variants and the GTK property is a no-op on them).

 

Regards,
Matthias
