New Planner stuck in dark mode and can't change per-plan backgrounds
I'm also facing this issue ... I prefer Dark Mode for Windows OS system settings and most applications, but NOT Planner ... drove myself crazy looking for the settings (which now also appear to be completely gone) and couldn't find any way to change the theme.
I changed my Outlook Web theme to Light and Planner doesn't even respect that.
Please bring back the option to change Dark Mode / Light Mode as well as the options to set different backgrounds per Planner as noted by others above.
I also just drove myself crazy looking for it too which is how I landed on this thread....
Dear Microsoft, please fix this atrocity.. K thanks.
+1 to get the smart background option back.
Workaround to use light mode : you have to set it up in your web browser settings (not in Outlook Web)
Not following. You're saying that settings in Chrome will make the microsoft site deliver a page differently? Seems sus.
Websites following the browser/system theme is not unheard of. What *IS* unheard of is websites FORCING you to follow the browser/system theme. Normally, there is an option for Light/Dark/System in any (every?) web application. Microsoft, in their abundant wisdom, have done away with this because they evidently believe their dark-mode theme is a sight to behold.
