MacOS: Theme issues

Hi it seems with 1.00 there are a few "issues" with macOS and the default themes.
1) The light and dark theme is different to the "default" theme.
2) The default theme is great because it is dynamic in that if it the OS is light, XnViewMP is light and vice versa but this doesn't happen with the more modern "light" and "dark" themes
3) the default theme when the OS is black renders the text black too so it's impossible to read the filenames when in this mode.

"light/dark theme", you meanse the theme available in XnViewMP?

Could you post a screen?

Ok, here it is attached.
I think I had to turn off file format colors,
But yes, with the default theme during dark mode in the os, the filename text stays black

MacOS is with dark theme, XnView is with default or dark theme?

macOS with light theme - works
macOS with dark theme - works
macOS with default theme - doesn't work when OS is in dark mode.
Hope that helps

Ah, you have the grey "card" background enabled.
If that is not being used;
macOS with light theme - works (text is black)
macOS with dark theme - works (text is white)
macOS with default theme (text is always black)

Nope, if there would be someway to lose the "default" theme and then for xnview to chose the light theme when OS is light, and dark theme when OS is dark it would be perfect.
