electron-osx-appearance

APIs for accessing the OS X Appearance Settings.

Requires:

• Electron >=0.37.8

Why?

• Simple function calls instead of having to remember the name and types of each setting you need to access.

Install

$ npm install --save electron-osx-appearance

Usage

const osxPrefs = require('electron-osx-appearance');


if (process.platform === 'darwin') {
	osxPrefs.isDarkMode();

	osxPrefs.onDarkModeChanged(() => {
		// Handle the event
	});
}

// ...
