6/16/2023 0 Comments Getting to mailsmithSince we did Dark Mode years ago, we had our own theme file format, which was essentially property lists with a bunch of metrics and colors in it. These days, what do you use, asset catalogs for colors, and there's like a whole infrastructure for this, right? So Apple's already gone ahead and designed all this, in a sense, and we're just picking that up. So the background colors in OmniFocus will match that in Mail, for example.īrent Simmons: Mm-hmm (affirmative). And give people a look that they've been asking for quite a while.īrent Simmons: So the look actually matches the OS preferred semantic colors, or whatever those are. ![]() We've tuned the colors so that we fit in with the OS better. So we did Dark Mode before the OS supported such a thing, and now that the OS supports it, it was actually nice to be able to go in and rip out a bunch of our custom code. Dark Mode was interesting because OmniFocus has had Dark Mode for many years now. Dark Mode has been done - and if you could see me, there were little air quotes around "done" - for quite a long time. Jim Correia: So this summer and fall, the two major things I've been working on, it's all been stuff for iOS 13, but I've been working on Dark Mode for OmniFocus, as well as multiple window support for OmniFocus.īrent Simmons: So did you start with Dark Mode? That seems maybe the easier of the two, I don't know. So what have you been working on this summer and fall, since WWDC? Jim Correia: Yeah, I'm technically the lead engineer for OmniFocus.īrent Simmons: Okay. So you're an OmniFocus developer and the OmniFocus lead developer, technically? It'll work out slightly more often than not. I'm going to say that I am right more often than I am wrong.īrent Simmons: That sounds good. ![]() You say he's a listener, but I'm going to answer under protest. Of course, he's an Omni employee, but he is also a listener, and he asks, are you right? ![]() Say hello, Jim.īrent Simmons: So to start off, we have a listener question from Evan McNulty. In the studio with me today is Jim Correia, OmniFocus developer. Mu…sic.īrent Simmons: I'm your host, Brent Simmons. Get to know the people and stories behind The Omni Group's award-winning productivity apps for Mac and iOS. Brent Simmons: You're listening to The Omni Show.
