Overlay not inheriting Color Mode


I have a dashboard that has some overlays that appear on hover. The overlays do not inherit the color mode (light or dark) of the main page. The overlays are set to auto, so they should inherit the mode of the page/frame they are in (although as an overlay they aren’t in a frame). I tried to make them booleans that show and hide the light or dark version of the overlay depending on color mode, but that hasn’t worked either. Any ideas?

That link currently only has view access - not sure that will help you, but let me know! Thank you


Hi! Did you find any way to fix this? Struggling with the same problem right now.


I did not. I also found that Devs can’t switch from light to dark mode in dev mode (or change device sizes) - so I just wound up making a second page where I convert everything to dark mode. It’s definitely a work around I’m not crazy about.

Having the same issue and wondering if this is a global issue or a bug that can be fixed manually on our end?
