Upgrade to Electron 12

CodeMouse92 · February 8, 2021, 8:12pm

Mailspring is still on Electron 4, which is at End of Life (as is Electron 5). We really need to bring it up to date with Electron 12, which will also seriously improve our OS integration.

This will resolve a couple of issues besides:

MailSpring cursor blinks regardless of whether the user has set the caret to bli…nk faster or slower than normal. This is incredibly annoying to some users. See [this electron issue](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/10668) for a description of the bug. It seems to have been fixed in Electron 5+ (Mailspring uses version 4).

**Describe the bug** In Linux, the regular Mailspring menus and other things li…ke file selector windows appear light even when the user is using dark mode system-wide. Choosing a dark theme such as the Isaac Dark Theme or Minimal Dark Theme does not yield dark menus or file selector windows either. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Set your Linux system to dark mode 2. Go to any of the menus or choose to attach a file to an email 3. Notice the menus and file selector windows are all light still **Expected behavior** The menus and windows should be dark along with the rest of the interface **Screenshots** ![Screenshot from 2020-04-25 00-16-11](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11663794/80271858-07a3b700-868a-11ea-8253-b0332d3b02f2.png) **Setup: (please complete the following information):** - OS: Pop!
