Our team is currently working on resolving the connection issues experienced by our Linux users, so the app will be temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience.

it gives an error during install... but then opens just fine, but wont connect so i'm unsure how to even get an error code or log to send in somewhere.

edit: found the log file through the application under show logs. anybody know where to send it in to?

The app theme is dependent on your general system app theme at the moment.

which sucks because for some reason my system dosent register it properly. my theme IS dark... but apps say my system theme is light mode... when its not. i got the same problem in chrome, i needed to find an extension that forced everything into dark mode.

Are you on Windows or Linux?

Linux, running Linux Mint with KDE.

I found a workaround for my browser, Vivaldi has a force-global toggle for dark/night mode which i missed the first time looking for it. so i was able to remove the extension.

just the applications i run that have a problem now, but pretty much anything i've run has its own built-in toggle for dark or light mode so i can usually just change it in the settings of the app itself.

Thanks for following up. We'll eventually introduce additional themes in the desktop client, similar to our web app. Linux is in early beta so there's still a lot to come in upcoming updates.
