<p>The solution <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="799806336" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany-osx/issues/22/hovercard?comment_id=772130658&comment_type=issue_comment" href="https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issuecomment-772130658">#22 (comment)</a> works from command line<br>
<code>export GTK_THEME=Mojave-light-solid:dark; open -a geany</code></p>
<p><strong><em>BUT</em></strong>, it does not work in normal Mac workflow.  That is, double-clicking a file which opens with Geany, makes light mode.  Also starting Geany from the dock defaults to light mode</p>
<p>There is a <code>settings.ini</code> in the Macos bundle. Adding the following allows for dark-mode works:<br>
<code>gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true</code></p>
<p>I don't think gsettings exist for Macos.</p>
<p><strong><em>For the average user</em></strong>, I think the best solution would be to keep Macos bundle intact. To reiterate: now two bundle-based alternatives exists (<code>gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true</code>, or changing <code>gtk-dark.css</code> file names as in original post <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="799806336" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany-osx/issues/22/hovercard" href="https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/issues/22#issue-799806336">#22 (comment)</a>). At least theoretically, maybe one of these could be jacked into to allow dark-mode setting from inside Geany menus?</p>
<p>Willing to test-drive if you don't have a Mac available</p>
