I’m trying to find something and it’s not easy. I’m using claws now and I doesn’t seem to have dark mode.
Evolution should have it but my theme is set to ‘Adwaita-dark’ and evolution ignores it?
Thunderbird pissed me off by removing the tray icon…
I tried aerc but it didn’t connect to my mail server for some reason.
Any other decent client that does support dark mode?
Thunderbird with gnome theme from same developer of Firefox theme for gnome is fantastic. However, I use in my desktop evolution without problems when switching to dark theme.
Evolution can be forced to go to dark mode. I did it on my desktop with a script I found online. And, of course I am on my laptop and can’t find it anywhere right now.
When I get back on my desktop I’ll go through my bash history and find it.
I’m using Pop on both machines.
The whole concept of having to do dark mode on a per-app basis seems bizarre. Like, IMHO, this should be something that GTK or Qt handle systemwide. Yeah, maybe for a few apps they need a little work to adapt to dark mode, like if they generate images or something, but…
I use mu4e in emacs in a terminal, and my terminal is light-on-dark, but I imagine that that’s probably not what you’re looking for.
I’ve switched it out for Thunderbird, but PopOS comes with Geary which has a nice dark mode.
Turns out Geary was removed from Debian packages because of some stupid unmet dependency. But hey, it’s not my first rodeo. I built it from source. Had to install some dependencies and hack the meson build script a bit but it worked. Aaaaaand… no dark mode. Looks like all the new Gnome tools only work well in gnome. Geary also doesn’t have a tray icon, it only supports the Gnome widget or whatever it’s called.
