I'm using isSystemInDarkTheme() to use the proper colorscheme in my program, but it causes my program to never display. I just have this code

@Composable
fun TauTheme(
    dark: Boolean = isSystemInDarkTheme(),
    content: @Composable () -> Unit
) {
    MaterialTheme(
        colorScheme = if (dark) darkColorScheme() else lightColorScheme(),
        content = content
    )
}

You should post everything in one thread to avoid spamming the channel.

I use the same code as you have. On macOS it works fine.

[Łukasz Nowakowski]

[Łukasz Nowakowski]

Does isSystemInDarkTheme() return true or false?

[zt]

That API is not yet implemented on desktop

Ah, that's unfortunate. I looked into it some and it seems to be possible through dbus on Linux and the registry on windows
