Dark theme reverts back to Light [Resolved]

[one more]

Greetings!

For some reason, on our 13” MacBook Pro (early 2015, running Catalina 10.15.1), Dark theme (appearance) automatically changes to Light every morning, so we have to manually set it back to Dark again.

We actually had this problem since they introduced the Dark theme in Mojave. We want it on Dark at all times. Currently it can run on the Dark theme during the day, but when we close the MacBook lid for the night without shutting it down, and then open the lid in the morning, it starts up in the Light mode.

Anybody knows of a way to fix this anomaly?

Thanks, but I want it dark all the time, day and night. So my issue is that it automatically reverts back to light in the morning, even though the “Dark” theme is selected in Settings > General (and not “Auto”).

with NightOwl you can set it to dark mode only

Thanks, will try it out if I don’t manage to get Catalina’s native solution working.

It is set on Dark, but for some reason reverts back to Light every morning when the MacBook comes out of hibernation.

Ok, all sorted now, it was the old version of Flux interfering with the dark/light theme settings. The old Flux would also override NightOwl settings, turning it light. Updated the Flux and everything is fine now. Thank you for introducing the NightOwl, though, a cute little thing! ?
