      @RockyMM I can activate my mac's own dark menu and dock by going to setting>Generial> andn then checking the box that says "Use dark menu bar and dock". The thing that sucks is I have to do this every night and every morning, while before it so simple when Flux had the option.

      Still haven't gotten any real response, lets hope its just Flux trying to update for the new Sierra system.

          I too have this question - I'd really like to be able to see Dark mode on/off at sunrise/sunset too.

            I was wondering if there are any updates on this. I have the same problem.

              Doesn't seem like f.lux is interested in fixing or correcting that problem. Perhaps is being over looked or they deem it not important enough. It really is a shame, I cant understand why they would take out a function that already existed in previous versions of f.lux

                @yonore I'm sure they wouldn't take it out on purpose - that would be pointless work. Apple must have denied them that point of contact with the OS.

                  Here's an AppleScript which switches dark mode on (change "true" to "false" to switch back to light mode). You can add this to crontab to make it do it at a particular time, although I don't know how to calculate sunrise and sunset as f.lux does.

                  tell application "System Events"
                  tell appearance preferences
                  set dark mode to true
                  end tell
                  end tell

                    I have the same issue. I thought it might be just me, since my aunt, who has the same version of Flux, has the option in her menu bar. But I think she hasn't updated to Sierra, so maybe that's the reason.

                      Would really like to see the auto-switching to Dark theme back. Didn't realize how much I liked it until it was gone.

                          A colleague of mine has the same Flux version installed, but he's still on El Capitan and can still see that setting. I can't anymore, on Sierra :(

                            When running flux 36.x I was able to fix the dark mode by using this javascript (run through osascript):

                            // Set the real darkMode setting
                            Application('System Events').appearancePreferences.darkMode = fluxDarkMode;

                            I had this running in a cronjob and helping flux to set the dark mode correctly. I was sad to find that 37.x removed this dark mode.

                            Is there anyway we could bring it back?

                            Another way you could help us would be to allow us to just read the current K of the display from the flux plist ($HOME/Library/Preferences/org.herf.Flux.plist) and we could just automate syncing the dark mode to the screen.

                            Would any of this be possible?

                              Could the developer answer these questions and concerns?

                                      @thibault.ml Haven't heard from them since I posted this question, I pretty much gave up on this.

                                          Maybe case like this, when community has a solution for something that the developers are not providing themselves, is a good point to open source f.lux.
