What's coming in 5.4

[toxicdorito]

What is with darkmode? I see it shows in change logs for 5.4.0 and 5.4.1 but I see nothing yet on it.

@toxicdorito Currently, Cloudron follows the OS setting. For example, https://www.howtogeek.com/360650/how-to-enable-dark-mode-for-google-chrome/

This not really Cloudron related, as the Cloudron dark-mode uses https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme but depending on which OS, in Firefox dark-mode can be forced by setting ui.systemUsesDarkTheme to 2 in about:config

[toxicdorito]

Ah! I actually have set everything to dark mode on my PC at home, just haven't been home yet. I will try that! Thanks!

Very much enjoying Cloudron with Dark Mode now

Just wish NodeBB would do the same

@nebulon said in What's coming in 5.4:

in Firefox dark-mode can be forced by setting ui.systemUsesDarkTheme to 2

ui.systemUsesDarkTheme

is boolean, so "2"?

[nebulon]

that value should be a number

[murgero]

@Hillside502 In programming a boolean can also be shown as a number:

1 being TRUE
0 being FALSE

In this case, Firefox could be looking for 0, 1, or 2 to override this specific setting, 2 being FORCE dark theme.

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between 5.4 and 5.4.1? The release notes seem to be identical, unless I missed something.

[girish]

@d19dotca There is a quirk in our "changelog" system. Let's say we are in release 5.3.4 right now. What we do is make a release 5.4.0 and release it to a bunch of people. Bugs are found. Then we release 5.4.1. The people directly updating from 5.3.4 to 5.4.1 need to see the full changelog since they never update to 5.4.0. So we copy/paste the changelog of 5.4.0 into 5.4.1 even though that is not the real changelog. People updating from 5.3.4 to 5.4.0 to 5.4.1 will see the same change log twice (like you did). Not ideal, but so far it's been low on our priority list to fix this since most people auto-update and don't really see the changelog at all.

The real change log for 5.4.1 is that it fixes crash in the File manager when you navigate a symlink.

@girish Okay that's fair, thanks Girish for that explanation. It'd definitely be nice for those changelogs to be more accurate but I can totally understand why you do it the way you do it now. All good.

@murgero @nebulon
dark (value: 1), or no-preference (value: 2)

@Hillside502 See, there ya go. Thanks for the better info - I was just working under an assumption given my programming knowledge.

[girish]

@Hillside502 Ah that explains why the value of 2 never worked for me till I changed system settings.
