I do not have that plist file on my machine. I am running Monterey now. So I do not know where the Music.app keeps track of the currently selected library (when you change the selected library by option-clicking the app icon).

Media Library framework is deprecated.

Yeah. That documentation page does not seem to be written in the same manner as other documentation pages where the parameters are used in the description. There doesn't seem to be any consistency. Man, I miss sure Steve Jobs. At least he had standards, IMO.

Crap! Didn't know the comments couldn't handle code formatting.

I checked the answer button too soon. For some reason this isn't working for me. I am running on a late 2015 X86_64 iMac with macOS Big Sur 11.5.1 and Xcode 12.5.1. I have my system preferences to use dark mode system wide. However, when I run this code is does not change the window to .aqua as the documentation states. My assumption is that adding in this .aqua appearance it would override the system. Is that not the case? import Cocoa class ViewController: NSViewController {   let greenFilter = CIFilter(name: "CIFalseColor")!   let greenCIColor = CIColor(red: 0.3333, green: 0.8667, blue: 0.0, alpha: 1.0)   let darkGreenCIColor = CIColor(red: 0, green: 0.5373, blue: 0.1137, alpha: 1.0)   let redFilter = CIFilter(name: "CIFalseColor")!   let redCIColor = CIColor(red: 1.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 1.0)   let darkRedCIColor = CIColor(red: 0.6275, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0078, alpha: 1.0)   var redFilterColorChange = false   var progressBar: NSProgressIndicator?   var timer = Timer()       override func viewDidLayout() {     NSApp.appearance = NSAppearance(appearanceNamed: .aqua, bundle: nil)   }       override func viewDidLoad() {     super.viewDidLoad()     // Do any additional setup after loading the view.     self.view.appearance = NSAppearance(named: .aqua)     print("Appearance = \(self.view.appearance!.name)")     let progressFrame = NSRect(x: view.frame.midX-view.frame.width/2+30, y: view.frame.midY-10, width: view.frame.width-60, height: 20)     progressBar = NSProgressIndicator(frame: progressFrame)     self.view.addSubview(progressBar!)     progressBar?.contentFilters = []     if self.view.appearance?.name == .darkAqua {       greenFilter.setValue(darkGreenCIColor, forKey: "inputColor0")       redFilter.setValue(darkRedCIColor, forKey: "inputColor0")     } else {       greenFilter.setValue(greenCIColor, forKey: "inputColor0")       redFilter.setValue(redCIColor, forKey: "inputColor0")     }     // Apply the filter     progressBar?.contentFilters = [greenFilter]     progressBar?.isHidden = false     progressBar?.isIndeterminate = false     progressBar?.doubleValue = 0     progressBar?.maxValue = 1.0     startTimer()   }   override var representedObject: Any? {     didSet {     // Update the view, if already loaded.     }   }   func startTimer() {     print("Starting timer")     timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 0.1, target: self, selector: #selector(updateProgress), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)     print("Progress bar frame = \(progressBar!.frame)")   }   @objc func updateProgress() {     if progressBar!.doubleValue < 1.0 {       if progressBar!.doubleValue > 0.75 && !redFilterColorChange {         progressBar?.contentFilters = [redFilter]         redFilterColorChange = true       }       progressBar?.doubleValue += 0.01       print("Progress bar value = \(progressBar!.doubleValue)")     } else {       timer.invalidate()       progressBar?.contentFilters = [greenFilter]       progressBar?.doubleValue = 0       progressBar?.isHidden = true     }   } }

Well, aren't you a daisy! That's what I was looking for, not necessarily trying to do something that isn't allowed. I read that article on SO, but I was understanding it as actually modifying the info.plist file on disk during run time, not changing a value on the fly. My misunderstanding. I have no idea why the link to the apple documentation didn't come up for me when I was searching for dark and aqua appearance. Much appreciated! I owe you a beverage of your choice!

Thank you! I did not catch that!
