macOS Mojave and Dark Appearance

Post by rocrail »

Hi,

I did not found a solution for the wxWidgets Color Scheme to be used with the Mojave Dark Appearance.
The most Dialog text is hardly readable.
See the attached screen shots.
Any Tips?

Which wxWidgets version are you using? There has been some work on dark mode support over the last few months:

It seems I have to use the master instead of the WX_3_0_BRANCH?

Hi,

I tried this, but after make clean and configure its ends up like this:

Code: Select all

ranlib /Users/rob/Projects/wxWidgets-master/macbuild/lib/libwxregexu-3.1.a
make: *** No rule to make target `../src/png/png.c', needed by `wxpng_png.o'.  Stop.
With the WX_3_0_BRANCH it compiles OK.
Best regards,
Rob.

You probably forgot to get the submodules.
