Dark Mode gone?

New insider today, the beautiful dark mode is gone now it's white glaring at me like a spotlight. HATE the look. Yes, HATE the look.  This was the main reason I got away from IE11 in W10. 

 

Is there a fix?  Like now?

    microsvc2 it is now available as an option in Settings> Appearance, if you are on the recent Canary/Dev build...

      Rohit Yadav No, it is not there.  

      Microsoft Edge is up to date.
      Version 77.0.211.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

        Hi microsvc2, this fix just missed the cut-off for this week's Dev build.  It does exist on Canary and will be in next week's Developer channel release.  In Dev we have enabled the flag: #edge-follow-os-theme by default so if your Windows 10 is set to dark mode, the browser should mirror that.  If it doesn't, you can file a support ticket on https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com and our great support agents (hi DarrenH) will be able to help diagnose and understand what is going on with your system.  Thanks - Elliot

    microsvc2 It uses the same mode as your OS does. This means if your Windows 10 is set to Dark Mode (also known as: Light Mode off), then DevEdge will switch to Dark Mode.

      Yes, it used to. Yesterday I got a page that said Edge was updated and I noticed the dark mode was gone.  W10 is still set to dark mode, so it's not that.

        microsvc2 Well that's weird.

        I have: Version 77.0.211.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

        And my Light Mode Off changes its mode just fine... But I'm not using the canary, so maybe that broke it?
