Broken dark mode and inverted colors!
Hi there, I've been sending reports about this issue in "Feedback" of Microsoft Edge DAILY for a YEAR now ! Because of the following issues that they keep increasing with every new major update of Edge... And YES I send the diagnostic data with every feedback.. and NO it's not an issue of my Windows because this is happening on several machines with several Windows versions, and it only happens when I'm turning on "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" from edge://flags/ If I turn it off everything goes back to normal, but also the dark mode completely goes away! So this is related to the #enable-force-dark from the flags, don't send me steps of how to fix my Windows or how to reset Edge... The main issue is that "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" inverts the colors of A LOT of unrelated stuff in almost EVERY-SINGLE-WEBSTIE !!! Like logos, avatars, profile pics, emojis, some parts of the web design and even some text colors and more!! Which makes these stuff either VERY hard to see/understand OR it makes them completely invisible! 🤦🏻:male_sign: Below are some screenshots of "some" of the issues.. these aren't everything I found, these are just a few examples that I gathered to show you how bad is it.. 1- Many things in frontapp.com / app.frontapp.com like logos and emojis 2- Twitter's emojis and some of the profile pics in there 3- Lots of forums.. actually almost any forum anywhere! Enabling and forcing dark mode and all I see is WHITENESS ! and no words are visible!!! 4- Amazon... 5- DELL... 6- Disney+... 7- Frame.io video previews and almost all video previous from every website! (This started to happen since Edge v102, it was bad .. now it's worse) 8- YouTube white banners in top and bottom when you move the mouse the seek bar pops up.. (Full Screen) YouTube when you are not in full screen there is a white banner in the bottom.. YouTube seek preview if that pic/scene is dark (inverted colors) 9- LG Website (And everything like it including Amazon) 10- Nvidia.. 11- TechSpot 12- Even Your OWN SETTINGS PAGE !! I mean look at this pics carefully... does any color make any sense here?! And all these issues are nothing compared to the WHITE FLASH that blinds me for a few seconds when I start Edge!!!!! I'm using DARK MODE for everything in Edge, WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING A WHITE FLASH THAT ALMOST BLINDS ME THEN???!!!! I mean.. do you even test your stuff and changes ??? Do you test "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" with every major update you do ??? Because with every major update things gets worse NOT BETTER! Which means either you don't test or you don't care! 🤷🏻:male_sign: I just had a surgery for my eyes a couple of months ago and I use DARK MODE for everything I have because anything bright hurts MY EYES before and after the surgery... WE ARE NOT USING DARK MODE BECAUSE IT'S COOL, WE ARE USING IT FOR OUR EYES!! SO STOP IGNORING IT !!! These issues have been there AND INCREASING for more than a year now! And again, it's getting worse with every major update of Edge... and again, the screenshots above are just a few examples! The inverted colors are in every-single website!!! And please don't tell me to fix my Windows or Edge because as I said this is happening on every single machine with every single Windows I've tested.... And each machine/Edge has different apps and no extensions.. You guys turn on "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents" and you will see these disastrous issues everywhere that you don't test.. so this option needs to be fixed/optimized.. and don't forget about the terrible useless white flash at the start.... So... when are these issues going to be fixed??something wrong with the color of Edge white on white font
I have reported this via feedback for my enterprise Windows 11 but now also see this in Edge Dev on a different Windows 11 22000.100 instance. tabs and top bar is very while and text is unreadable (white on white) the OS is of course set to dark mode. happens erratically.Suggestion to use the Force Dark Mode for Edge for Android
One suggestion that I'd like to see in the future is the "force dark mode" in sites that don't have support to the changing color API. Various browsers for Android already have it. In Edge for Windows I can download extensions to do that, but it doesn't work on Android. Unfortunately, the most most part of the sites doesn't have a dark mode or doesn't respect the system toggle. And, congratulations! The new Edge for Android is incredible you've gone a good jobLatest Edge Canary build lets you enable dark mode for websites
You need to be on the latest version of Edge insider Canary The flag was first added in Version 80.0.317.1 Then you have to head over to the edge://flags/ and Enable this flag: Force Dark Mode for Web Contents Automatically render all web contents using a dark theme. – Mac, Windows #enable-force-dark Here are the options it offersWebsites are detecting Dark Mode in Edge insider and using it as their theme
So I just visited an article on Windows Central website and it looks like this https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-os-development-schedule-changes This is Edge insider Version 80.0.315.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) however, it looks like this on Edge classic Websites are detecting my current theme in Edge insider Canary which is really good, and show me the relevant style of their sites. when I set the theme to Light in Edge insider settings, that website's theme also switches to white, without the need to refresh the page or restart the browser. I hope more websites react to this.
