Dark Mode support in GDL

Hi All

ArchiCAD 29 brings dark mode support in MasOS..

There is the support article about it.. Here

Quote at the end of the page

"For bitmaps, the library author has to include dark versions of the image. Built-in images’ dark version has to be in images_dark folder in the source (next to the imagesfolder) with the same filename as the light one. They don’t have to be referenced in libpartdata.xml. External images should have a _dark filename suffix, their path is not relevant."

I can't seem to get this working.. has anyone else had success ?

TIA

crickets....

Okay.. no one has tried or no one is using 29?

Question for the developers.. is GDL support for dark mode only for LCF or .libpark libraries ?

Because it doesn't work for standard libraries.. (gsm's in a folder) AFAIK..

Maybe this should be flagged as a bug ?
