      davequail I still succeed the same problem with the clear and dark subject activated in the 76.0.151.0 version.

        your screenshot is showing the right side of the Edge whereas the problem occurs on the tab titles which are on the right side. so i think you've confused something there..

        the problem is solved for me with the latest update  

  • HotCakeX, I just heard that the fix for this issue went in yesterday, and should be available in the Canary builds in the next day or so.

    HotCakeX I agree. Tabs without focus (background) are virtually illegible. I have to click on the Tab to read the text.

      This isn't related to dark mode, but this happens when you choose in the Windows Settings to use your accent colour on title bars.

        Paytime Agreed.  I am finding whether in Light or Dark mode, if Title bars and window borders is checked under Show accent color on the following surfaces, then the gray tab text is particularly difficult to read when Edge Canary is the active app.  Currently running version 76.0.147.0.
