Is it possible to check whether the user has dark/light mode enabled and adjust an interface accordingly? I’m looking to do this with colors in SpriteKit (or anything other than UIKit or SwiftUI, technically) based on the device’s global setting rather than an app setting.
Detecting Dark Mode Programmatically
There may be some cases in which you want to detect appearance changes programmatically and change your user interface accordingly.
⚠ Warning: When responding to appearance changes, make sure to update your interface as quickly as possible. Do not perform tasks that are unrelated to the appearance change, as it may result in delays, especially if the user switches appearance from Control Center.
override func traitCollectionDidChange(_ previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) { super.traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection) let userInterfaceStyle = traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle // Either .unspecified, .light, or .dark // Update your user interface based on the appearance }Detecting appearance changes is trivial by overriding
traitCollectionDidChangetraitCollection.userInterfaceStyleHowever, it is important to remember that
traitCollectionDidChangeoverride func traitCollectionDidChange(_ previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) { super.traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection) let hasUserInterfaceStyleChanged = previousTraitCollection.hasDifferentColorAppearance(comparedTo: traitCollection) // Bool // Update your user interface based on the appearance }If you want to access the current trait collection from anywhere, you can also use
UITraitCollection.current
