White icons needed for Dark Mode in Macos Mojave

Hi Bill! Love this app. My desktop image always feels on point :)

I use Macos Mojave's Dark Mode. In this mode the black colored NPOD icon doesn't show up in the menu bar. It looks like we need a set of "white" NPOD icons that can be used when 'Dark Mode' is enabled: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/dark-mode-mac-3670701/

Let me know what you think. If you want me to try to make a PR to get this working let me know.

High Sierra Support

Hey Guys,

It looks like NPOD is no longer working on High Sierra OS. It would be absolutely amazing to use it there. I love the popup functionality. Many thanks.

Internet

I installed it but when I try to open it it just says it can't connect to the internet, even though I am.
"NASA Pic of the Day requires an internet connection to retrieve images. Please check your internet connection and try again."
I am connected to the internet and had no problems on install, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

There was a problem downloading the image.

Recently, there was a problem downloading the image.

TLS 1.2

Nasa enforces the use of TLS 1.2 now.

Adding the following line in the NetworkHelper will force the http requests to use TLS 1.2.

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

Not work with proxy

Not work with proxy.

Sample Fix - add work with DefaultCredentials
(
Put this in application configuration file.
--
--
<system.net>

</system.net>
--
).
And add options to manul edit proxy settings.

Auto add to startup not working in mojave

It works with manual add to startup items though.
