Fix dark titlebar when the app is set to the light theme - #433
Conversation
The dashboard window hardcoded its background to #111214 and never set an appearance, while DashboardRootView applies .preferredColorScheme from config.darkMode. That modifier only covers SwiftUI content: AppKit chrome (transparent titlebar, traffic lights, resize corners) resolves against the window's own appearance, so in light mode the content turned light while the titlebar strip stayed dark. Give MuesliTheme an NSColor counterpart of backgroundDeep and let Color.adaptive wrap it, so the window background can no longer drift from the theme, and set window.appearance from config.darkMode on build, show and reload so toggling the theme updates the chrome without reopening the window.

Review feedback on the previous commit: the theme toggle goes through updateConfig -> applyConfigRuntimeSideEffects, which calls updateBackendLabel() rather than reload(), so the appearance sync never ran while the dashboard stayed open and the chrome kept the previous theme. - Add RecentHistoryWindowController.applyThemeAppearance() and call it from applyConfigRuntimeSideEffects, so the in-app light/dark toggle reaches the window chrome. - Read controller.config instead of appState.config. appState.config is assigned during syncAppState(), so reading it here applied the previous theme whenever the appearance was refreshed before that assignment. - Extract the pure appearanceName(for:) mapping and cover both branches in WindowAppearanceTests.

scripts/test_ci_test_shards.sh fails when a new suite is not listed in any required shard, which is what broke classifier-tests on this branch. The suite covers window chrome mapping, so it goes with the other UI suites in core. Signed-off-by: Eugene Chorny <est.eugene@gmail.com>
The previous commit described this fix but landed the call in refreshUI(), which is the wrong hook: updateBackendLabel() appears both there and in applyConfigRuntimeSideEffects(), and the edit caught the first one. refreshUI() already reaches applyThemeAppearance() through reload(), so the call there was redundant, while the in-app light/dark toggle (updateConfig -> applyConfigRuntimeSideEffects) still never reached it and the chrome kept the previous appearance until the window was reopened. Verified on a dev build by clicking the sidebar toggle with the dashboard open and sampling the titlebar: light 0xF5F5F7 -> dark 0x111214 -> light again, matching backgroundDeep in both directions with no reopen.

- Fullscreen titlebar follows the app theme: fullscreen chrome resolves against NSApp.appearance, not the window's, so sync it alongside the window appearance (applyAppThemeAppearance at launch and on every config-change path) - Theme toggle segments respond across their full rectangle: add contentShape(Rectangle()) to the plain-style sun/moon buttons so taps no longer land only on the glyph pixels Signed-off-by: pHequals7 <ce17b115@smail.iitm.ac.in>

Thanks, and good catch on the fullscreen path. I only synced the window, so I missed that fullscreen chrome resolves against Reproduced your result independently on a dev build, with macOS itself in the light theme so the app and the OS disagree:

Review feedback on 355a485: the onboarding window never set its own appearance, so it inherited one. Before the app-level sync that meant the OS theme, after it the app theme, and neither is right for a window whose content is unconditionally dark (OnboardingView forces .preferredColorScheme(.dark)). The reported symptom does not reproduce as described: the window is styleMask [.titled] with no traffic-light buttons, a transparent titlebar and a hardcoded dark background, so the chrome reads dark either way. Verified on a dev build with the app in the light theme, where the onboarding capture is byte-identical before and after this change. What the inherited appearance does reach is the AppKit surfaces the SwiftUI color scheme cannot: focus rings, panels and menus opened from onboarding. Pinning removes the dependency on NSApp.appearance entirely rather than leaving it correct only by coincidence. Signed-off-by: Eugene Chorny <est.eugene@gmail.com>
applyAppThemeAppearance() reached NSApp directly. NSApp is an implicitly unwrapped optional and is nil under `swift test`, where no NSApplication is ever created, so every test that goes through updateConfig -> applyConfigRuntimeSideEffects trapped and took the whole bundle down with signal 5. That is what failed the `test (meetings)` shard on this PR. Bind it instead of forcing it. Behaviour in the running app is unchanged, since NSApp is always present there. Verified locally: `scripts/run_ci_test_shard.sh meetings` now passes 409 tests in 26 suites, and `core` passes 348 tests in 21 suites. Both crashed before this change.

Summary
The dashboard window keeps a dark titlebar when the app is set to the light theme.
RecentHistoryWindowController.buildWindow()setstitlebarAppearsTransparent = trueand hardcodeswindow.backgroundColorto#111214, and the window'sappearanceis never set.DashboardRootViewapplies
.preferredColorScheme(config.darkMode ? .dark : .light), but that only covers SwiftUIcontent — AppKit chrome (transparent titlebar, traffic lights, resize corners) resolves against the
window's own appearance. In light mode the content turns light while the titlebar strip stays
#111214.Changes:
MuesliTheme: exposebackgroundDeepDarkHex/backgroundDeepLightHex, addbackgroundDeepNSColor, and add anNSColor.adaptive(dark:light:)helper.Color.adaptivenowwraps
NSColor.adaptive, so the appearance logic lives in one place and the window backgroundcannot drift from
MuesliTheme.backgroundDeep.RecentHistoryWindowController: useMuesliTheme.backgroundDeepNSColorfor the windowbackground, and set
window.appearancefromconfig.darkModeon build, onshow()and onreload().MuesliController: callapplyThemeAppearance()fromapplyConfigRuntimeSideEffects, which isthe path the in-app light/dark toggle takes (
updateConfig). Without it the chrome only pickedthe new theme up when the window was rebuilt or reopened.
OnboardingWindowControllerkeeps its hardcoded dark background on purpose:OnboardingViewforces.preferredColorScheme(.dark), so onboarding is dark in both themes and is out of scope here.Validation
