New dark mode support is coming to SQLEditor

Wednesday, October 10th, 2018

With Mojave released and SQLEditor working, a new release with proper dark mode support is in the works. Development has been proceeding rapidly and there’s stuff to show off.

It’s mostly finished, although I’m still working on how the drawing areas should appear. The first version has a white background for the drawing area, following the “diagram as image” idea.

A later revision may have the option to change this background color.

This work is mostly finished, currently it’s just being checked to make sure that all the details have been fixed and that no oddities remain.

Hopefully it should get a beta release fairly soon.
