    File explorer on dark mode illegible bug


    Dark mode works beautifully on everything, except File Explorer.

    • A highlighted selected item is legible, but becomes stark white with white text once the selected item's window is deselected still keeping the selected item selected, causing a light grey/white illegible block.
    • When using the details view, the titles 'Name, Date modified, Type and Size' are illegible light grey text on another light grey block. Illegible and not very aesthetic either.
    • The folder's breadcrumb is completely illegible with stark white text on a stark white background.

    As you can imagine, this issue makes using windows 10, very difficult. Everything is a 'mix' between light mode and dark mode:

    I'm not really sure what to do anymore;


    • I have tried turning contrast settings off and on again.


    • I have tried changing the accent colour in Settings > Personalisation automatic and manual selection.


    • I have done several fresh installs, including a whole new install on a new SSDC: instead of my old HDDD: and this issue persists


    Has anyone come across this issue before and know how to solve it? I'm on the verge of just never using Dark mode on Windows.

    :)

    File explorer in dark theme gone!

    There was an option for choosing dark mode. I followed both suggestion above to the letter. But it did not fix the problem. Only Explorer is white. Which was the behavior before 1809.
