I enabled dark mode on Yosemite, after updating to DP 5 I can't disable dark mode, no matter how many times I uncheck the dark mode theme it keeps rechecking its self. I really want to get off dark mode. Any help?
Got a tip for us?

Do you have Lights Out installed? If so, that seems to be causing the issue for most people with that installed.
I did have it installed but I have uninstalled it. I thought that might be causing the problem. Any way to fix this?
I installed Lights Out again, turned it on then off and the dark mode check box is working again, and I have my light mode back! Thank you for your help.
