Brave Desktop Sidebar has inverted colors [KNOWN ISSUSE]

I have the latest stable version od Brave Desktop for Windows and first I created Website shortcuts on the sidebar all was fine. But now, the colors of the shortcuts are inverted. If I enter these pages the icons become normal again. I think it happens after clearing the Browser History but I’m not sure.

Hello there @whitetiger55, please accept my apologies for this issue. Please provide the following information in order to investigate further:

  1. Reproduces how often:
  2. Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
  3. Additional Information:

In the meantime, try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings to see if this resolves the issue. You’ll find this in Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration

Be waiting for your response.

Hi @Kevin_cc , unfortunately I forgot this info.

  1. It happens every time I clear my browsing history and restart Brave.
  2. I am using Windows 10 Pro and Brave

I tried your tip, but nothing changed. The logos are still inverted.

@whitetiger55 could you please try opening your main profile in private or guest mode to see if the colors show properly? If they do, try disabling your extensions to see if this is the cause of the issue.

You can open a Guest Window by going to Main menu --> Open Guest window:

  1. On your computer, open Brave.
  2. At the top right, click Menu → More tools → Extensions.
  3. On to the extension you want to remove, click Remove.
  4. Confirm by clicking Remove.

Let me know if that works.

In private mode is the colors are also inverted and in guest mode the sidebar is on default (has no personal shortcuts)

@whitetiger55 Please try installing the Beta or Nightly version of Brave to see if the issue persists on those versions.

If the colors show properly on those versions, it may be an issue related to this Brave version.

In both, Beta and Nightly, still not fixed

@whitetiger55 do you have any themes set on the Brave Browser? If that’s the case try disabling them or setting Brave to light mode to see if this solves the issue brave://settings/appearance > Brave colors > Light

Let me know if that works.

I had the darkmode on. The light mode has unfortunately brought nothing. Thanks for your help anyway.

@whitetiger55 please go to brave://flags/ and search for Vulkan to see if you have it set it to default. If you do, try both enabling it and disabling it.

Let me know if that works.

Does re adding the bookmarks displayed on the sidebar solve the issue? To do it hove over the side bar > right click over an icon > remove. Once removed, add it back to see if it shows the right colors.

Let me know if that works.

It helps but the next time I clear my browsing data it’s inverted again. The same when I open one of the bookmarks.

@whitetiger55 could you please create a new profile on your Browser by going to hamburger menu > create a new profile and set a new sidebar shortcuts to see if the colors still get inverted.

The colors are still inverted. What I had forgotten is that the icons also become blurred.
