OSCAR Color scheme on Mac OS

OSCAR Color scheme on Mac OS
I couldn't find anything when searching but is there a way to change the background color schemes in OSCAR on Mac OS?

On the welcome page, the text is white with a yellow background so you can't really see it. Also, the calendar and details section on the daily screen have black backgrounds which make it difficult to see. It looks completely different on my windows PC.

The software is great so there are minor things, but I'd still like to figure them out.

Thanks!

I think I figured it out. It wasn't OSCAR that was doing it, it was because of the Appearance setting in Mac OS. If you have it set to Dark, it will change the way that text and backgrounds will appear in OSCAR. When I changed it from Dark to Light, everything improved and now looks similar to Windows.

You are correct: the current version of OSCAR does not support Mac OS "dark mode."  That happens because the underlying QT development environment we use does not support dark mode.  We expect to have a work-around in the next release.

Awesome, that's great to know. Thanks for all the hard work on this. I know SW development is not easy and it's impossible to account for everything. You pick and choose your battles. Smile
