Bug: Crash on color theme changing

Steps to reproduce:

Open gitx
Change macos system color theme (Light -> Dark or Dark -> Light) in the System Settings

Macos 26.6.2 (25G83)

which gitx version ?

Version 1.5.8-HEAD (1.5.8.3278 [arm])

Also I noticed it on 2 versions before current

Thanks - this looks like #578, fixed in #646. That landed on 15 Sep, one day after 1.5.8 was tagged, so no released build carries it yet and 1.5.8.3278 is from before the fix.

A post-fix build here survives a Dark/Light cycle without crashing, though on macOS 15.7.9 rather than your 26.6.2. Could you try a build from master - the dmg from any recent CI run - and say whether it still happens?

Please reopen it again, if it still appears with upcoming new release

@uqus

Please give https://github.com/gitx/gitx/releases/tag/1.6 a try @uqus
It would be nice, if you could inform us, if it solves it or not

Sorry, I just updated to macos 27 and here v1.6 works perfectly. I had check previous version on 27, there was no crash but the color theme stayed Light. Now everything works as expected. Thank you, guys.

Is there any option to override the light/dark mode from GitX?

Is there any option to override the light/dark mode from GitX?

@pcambra , you are right - GitX only follows the system's settings at the moment.
