Menubar icon incorrect

BugCompletedReport This Post

Hi there, first of love Solace. I came here after NightOwl, after NightFall, after Dynapaper, after flux, so yeah you can tell for sure that I love what Solace brings. Kudos for that upfront,

I do have a small issue; The menubar icon seems to remain incorrect.
According to the FAQ; "Look at the top-right of your screen: a sun icon means light mode, a moon means dark mode"

Well I have a Moon icon but am on Light mode. And before you ask no I have Weather options off, Have not manually switched. But I can fix it by switching twice but well it simply should not be the case right.

Hope you can look into this.

Best regards!

Patrick, thanks for the heads up on the menubar icon showing the wrong symbol. We'll get this looked into and will post any update here.

Hmm I might have an idea as to what/how.
I'm a poweruser for sure with 10 spaces (Desktops) open at once.
And I just noticed that 3 spaces seem out of sync, so this might be a specific edge case.
But perhaps it puts you in the correct direction.

Best regards,
Patrick

Patrick, thank you for the kind words and for the detail on your setup.

The latest update improves how the menu bar icon keeps up with your Mac. When the appearance changes by a route other than Solace itself, such as macOS's own Auto setting or a change while the Mac is asleep, the icon now follows straight away, so it always matches the mode you're in.

Your note about desktops was a great pointer. macOS only lets an app set the wallpaper on the desktop currently in view, so Solace now brings each desktop into line as you arrive on it. With ten desktops, we'd recommend turning on Show on all Spaces in System Settings > Wallpaper, which makes every desktop change at once.

Solace should automatically ask you if you'd like to update, and if not, you can press the info button in the panel and choose Check for Updates.

Any other issues or feedback, please just get back in touch and let us know.

Hi there,
Thanks for the great and clear reply, updating as we speak.
Also did not know about the Show on all Spaces option, enabled that.
Will keep on the lookout and confirm at the end of the week if the issue shows up again or not.
Best regards!
