Dark mode -- ok for a first step

Dark mode has been enabled. However, the top bar with the tabs doesn't go dark except for the active tab, and that looks weird. It happens because it doesn't override the taskbar setting like the old...

    NicolSD  Thanks.  Other than the method in set the browser in Dark Mode, does it look like Dark Mode as enabled through edge://flags (see below)?

      tomscharbach -- Sorry, I should have mentioned it right at the start. It is indeed in edge://flags. Enable the one called Microsoft Edge theme.

        Thank you.  I did that as soon as I installed Edge Chromium and have been running that theme "enabled" since the first day, as you can see from the screenshot in the comment above. 

         

        I agree with your comments and submitted a request (through the Feedback smiley, some days ago) to have Edge Chromium's dark mode follow the visual style of Edge Classic's dark mode (see below for the comparison).   Edge Chromium's dark mode is not sufficient, because it does not differentiate the various working areas of the primary controls at the top of the page. 

         

        We will see what comes of it.
