Is there a way through properties or other to disable the automatic dark theme selection when macOS is itself set on dark theme.

Our product has plugins that don't support dark theme so I would like the product to be on light theme even if the OS is using a dark theme.

I tried to use org.eclipse.swt.display.useSystemTheme but it did not work.

Thanks.

This should be possible by setting the cssTheme property to org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.theme.e4_default

Thanks for the answer, but I was already using this property. It seems to have no effect. If macOS is set to use dark theme, the eclipse dark theme seems to be activated by default.

I don't have macOS available, so I cannot validate. When the option is ignored when the dark OS theme is used, it sounds like a bug. You might get better feedback by creating a bug report for platform UI.
