As of macOS 10.12, all default widget apperances are light. I couldn't find a setting in Xcode 8 to make my existing widget to adopt the light apperance.

Within your widget's Info.plist, in the

NSExtensionAttributes

dictionary, try setting

NSExtensionPointVersion

to the string

2.0

. That should opt the widget in to the new look.

@IBourne Have you tried putting it under the NSExtensionAttributes dictionary?
