    Not working.

    It's worth noting that I'm on the beta channel, v238.3.5842, and the version you're on is in the stable channel, 236.4.5918 from about 3 weeks ago. You can see the layout of the window is different.

    Perhaps upgrade to the latest release, or perhaps one from the beta channel and see if the issue persists.

Thanks for the quick reply Jay

Do you have it set to dark mode, or to follow the system theme, if your system is already on dark mode itself?

    Windows is set to dark mode, dropbox is set to dark mode. Curiously I tried setting it to system and that didn't work either.

      Hey electroDrive333, let me jump in here! 

      Is it possible to send me a screenshot and let me know how it looks like on your end, in order for me to have a visual too? 

      Thanks a bunch!
