Argument theme of raw.plot() or config key does not work on macOS

[mscheltienne]

As spotted following the discussion here mne-tools/mne-qt-browser#83 the argument theme does not change the theme on either my macOS or Windows computer.

Sample code:

import mne


folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path() / 'MEG' / 'sample'
raw = mne.io.read_raw(folder / 'sample_audvis_filt-0-40_raw.fif', preload=True)
raw.plot(theme='dark')

@larsoner can you re-open this one?
I am still getting a dark theme no matter the theme argument on my macOS with dark-mode enabled a the system-level.
Setting it in the MNE config with mne.set_config('MNE_BROWSER_THEME', 'light') does not get me the light theme either.

Same issue as mne-tools/mne-qt-browser#100 ?

[mscheltienne]

I don't think so. I can give it a shot with the latest version of mne-qt-browser later; but in my case, the UI stays in dark mode no matter what. The entire UI.

[larsoner]

Yes please test with latest MNE-Python and mne-qt-browser main

[mscheltienne]

Fresh environment with both mne-python and mne-qt-browser installed from main. No luck, there is something wrong here.

folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path() / 'MEG' / 'sample'
raw = mne.io.read_raw(folder / 'sample_audvis_filt-0-40_raw.fif', preload=True)
raw.plot(theme='light')

Can you investigate a bit? If not, I can try to look in a bit

[mscheltienne]

I can look at it tomorrow
