Hello @Rich777

i just tried it but on linux and it work fine
could you create new profile and see if that new profile work fine or not

if it work then maybe an extension effect that could you disable all extension and see if it work fine or not

Please fix this!

Hello @jackjack123

for me to make the dark mode work i have to go to brave://settings/appearance then change Brave colors to dark
then refresh the page or reopen the dev tool again
does that work with you?

Hey thanks for the tip.
Yes that works, but then my entire Brave browser is in dark mode…

I prefer just the dev tools in Dark mode. Anyway, no big deal … I can live with it all in Dark mode :dark_sunglasses:

Thanks!

Oh that worked nicely - great tip, thanks.

(Yes, like @jackjack123 I prefer only Dev tools in dark mode, but it’s a nice work around.)

I am having same issue of dark mode not saving. Even after reloading browser as it suggest. Not saving. I am on Windows 10.

Just recently switched over. So far like Brave. Hoping things like this get resolved quickly.

Keep up the good work Brave!

Looks like I can reproduce this issue myself – going to open an issue for this for the dev team to review.
