Check dark mode
-
With the new Pythonista 3.3 (thanks Ole!), I ran into a problem with the Synchronator script, that I use regularly.
The scripts hard codes the colour to be written text with as (0,0,0). As a solution I have just disabled the colour setting at all, so I can at least see what's going.
But it would be nice if I could check the dark/light mode setting from Python.
Or, maybe better yet, get the current theme colours.Would it be possible to force the console output to another theme?
-
You can query the current dark/light mode setting using the new
ui.get_ui_style()function. -
I should probably remove the advice to use a custom dark theme in light mode or vice-versa.
The feature didn't exist at the time I wrote this, but I would actually recommend turning off the automatic dark mode switch in that case (using the gear icon within the theme selection).

Is there a possibility to set the background colour of the console?
For the foreground (text), there's console.set_color, but I can't seem to find a function to set the background.
