Version: 2.17.0

2.17.0 suffers from a crash on startup: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/issues/1422 I find it odd that there is no response from development.

Would love to see dark mode support for Rocket.Chat. There are some open GitHub Issues for custom themes. But it would be great if this supported a light and a dark theme by default which followed system settings on macOS.
