#12A little stretch ... yet I needed a decompiler for Mac a while ago and used https://www.hopperapp.com/ (also recommended on the German fanboys.fm podcast). found it was doing its job quite well (with a couple of helpful features, espcially the flow control graph).
It‘s commercial though.

I like white background and bright color themes, as in I like my retina "burned". Does it has settings where you can choose your own color scheme or this tool is on the same par with all "cool kids" who think anyone not using dark mode is unworthy?

Dark mode with green letters - a standard for hours of working before the screen since 1980’s . The white background is not good for the eyes.
Yeah, but in those days we did that because there wasn't any other option. It's not like the colour scheme of the monochrome terminal was chosen for ergonomic reasons. If anything, amber terminals were easier on the eyes. Or the white on black ones. Those were nice.
Was going to say the same thing. It was well known at the time that amber was better, but manufacturers mostly continued pumping out green anyway.

IDK what's with this gas lighting about "cool kids" and "unworthy", do you really have this much callousness towards people with disabilities? Do you also think we should get rid of wheelchair ramps just because they don't cater to you?

What are you talking about? Where, in God's name, on my above comment I even hinted at that? All I am saying is if you go the trouble to create something that has different color scheme than your underlying operating system, then be smart enough to create settings to let users select their own colors.
You either create your app with default coloring and you let the operating system set your colors according to the user's theme preference OR add these in settings. I hate programmers who think their color preference should be the only one, and not just that, but also state it proudly with a "it doesn't burn your eyes".

This your comment if I remove the gaslighting and disdain for people with disabilities wanting to be able finally use some software:
> is lightmode still an option?

And not the crisp white of modern LCD
That's why we use tunable brightness and white point like f.lux.

#20Cool, it’s like WireShark for files. Looks pretty too.
