Desktop app dark theme [applied to menu bar or hiding it]

hey! so help me plse w/desktop app question…
i use dark theme but the bar for File Edit View Help stays light mode.
how do i get the bar to be dark to?
thanks!!!

oh, and also…if no way to make this dark theme also is there way to hide bar so cant see it when using app?

Hi!

The menu bar theme currently should match the system theme, see Electron docs.
Maybe we’d need to set it explicitly depending on what the user set in settings.

No. See option to disable/enable the menu bar (maybe disable by default) · Issue #5308 · deltachat/deltachat-desktop · GitHub and Hide Menu Bar (Linux desktop).

ahh thanks!!

yes please, this is good to set it to be the theme in delta settings and not system settings.

so this is a bit wierd since system default is dark and other non-delta windows make this bar dark to match entire window so making this match the delta settings seems like good idea.

sorry, forgot to ask how to make request possible to change this to match delta settings and not system settings?

What request?
We’ll need to change Delta Chat code to fix that.

i mean a official request somehow to ask for this feature like at a github, etc.

or is this request here enough and someone will work on it from this request?

sorry, i didnt know how this process works. thanks!!

The current practice is to have feature requests on the forum and bug reports on GitHub.
What you’re describing sounds more like a bug to me.

been tryin to create github acct to enter requst but cant.

keep getting msg “we couldn’t create your account” but no info why they cant create acct.

ok github issue is created at [desktop app dark theme menu bar #6506]

thanks for helping!! seems like small issue maybe but the way my eyes work it is hard to focus for some reason but its worse when its all light theme…
