Note: This is no longer the most recent top feedback summary. You can always find the latest at https://aka.ms/MSEdgeTopFeedback.
Hello insiders, as we explained in our post last week, we’ll be providing regular updates that summarize the most significant feedback we’re hearing from you and offer the latest status on each item. We’ve intentionally kept our descriptions of each item as simple as possible so that the list is easy to read, but if you have questions about any item please feel free to raise them by commenting on this post.
We have received more than 140,000 individual pieces of feedback. This list represents the feedback we see most frequently. This list is not exhaustive, and we will be frequently addressing topics not on this list. We are always listening and so please keep sending us feedback using the Send feedback button in the toolbar.

@matb86 Not a big themer, but the only thing I'd like to see is an option for the title bar color to be grabbed from the theme color of the current website, as in Vivaldi. That's a pretty cool feature, both for visual interest and for making it feel less like the page is running "inside" of a browser and more like the page is just the program you have open.

@Elliot Kirk Elliot, would yous please consider making the dark mode scrollbars a higher priority so it gets done sooner? It's the only major, highly visible element remaining that hasn't been updated for dark mode :(

@Elliot KirkElliot, since the scroll bars are the only remaining significant element that have not been updated to dark mode, could you ask those involved to make it a higher priority? Once dark scroll bars ship, Edge's dark theme will be complete!

Yes true,
to add to that, the Top bar on Edge insider should be set to dark theme too, regardless of Window's color settings.
I want the top bar to be either dark or transparent/Acrylic but if i set the Windows color to dark, a lot of things will be unreadable and it's not even comfortable for me to use the whole Windows in dark theme.
so I prefer my Windows color to be something like green/blue etc and Edge insider's top bar be dark or transparent

@Elliot Kirk Elliot it's been quite a while and I can't find anything about the dark mode scrollbars, can you give us a progress update please? Thanks :)
