I see two dark themes for Mac, see screenshot. Do we need both? If yes, please change the labels to make it clear what the difference is.

Till, I have the vague memory that you added the second Mac theme. Can you take this bug?

Comment 4 Till Brychcy CLA 2020-04-16 14:18:11 EDT 
There are two versions of the Mac dark theme, but only one is visible when on a Mac (see screen shot)

One is for older macOS versions which didn't have a native dark design for buttons etc.

Personally, I wouldn't offer the themes of other platforms at all. In my opinion, this just adds complexity without real benefit.

This page is confusing anyway. Why is there both a "Theme" and additionally a "Color and Font theme"? How do the choices they interact?

Will be fixed by removing the OS specific themes from the other platforms
