Hi,
this is similar to #188. Handling dark and light theme should be done by your desktop environment and I'd prefer not implementing a seperate toggle for Resources.

Thanks! I just checked #188

any chance that the app respects gtk theming? it looks like a gtk app tho :-D
would be nice to use the set gtk theme and color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

using the arch pkg, no weird flatpak thingy

Sorry, but I'm not planning to implement anything related to theming for Resources. GTK theming (by using the GTK_THEME environment variable) was only ever supposed to be a debug feature for development and changing this variable will probably make Resources look broken. Resources should respect your dark theme setting, maybe check your DE's appearance settings.
You could look into Gradience (currently unmaintained) for some experimental libadwaita theming, though I personally can and will not guarantee that it'll work perfectly.

While that's of course your choice, I'd like to point out that I don't maintain the AUR package and that Flatpak is the only supported method of installing and using Resources. I don't have the time and resources (no pun intended) to take care of weird distro quirks.

it's 2024, why is it so hard for anyone to implement a dark mode. shouldn't be that hard for gtk apps with prefer-dark. time to uninstall

Resources does have a dark mode, I'm using it as we speak and you can see it in action in the README's screenshots. Check your DE's settings.

Also, don't expect maintainers, who mostly use their free time to work on projects like this for no compensation, to implement suggestions with that attitude of yours.

I guess DEs have their own monitors wtf, why should anybody use yours there :-D haha

I don't see how one relates to the other, I made Resources specifically with the purpose of being a new and modern system monitor for GNOME, hence the use of GTK 4 and libadwaita.

furthermore, there is no screenshot in the readme, nor a mention about darkmode. here is a link to the readme, if you don't know it: https://github.com/nokyan/resources/blob/main/README.md

There's a bold "Click me for screenshots!" link right at the top revealing screenshots alternating between light and dark mode.

please stop replying

Not gonna let you tell me what to reply to in my own repo. Blocked.
