Hello Community!

Not realluy about file synch, but the form made me chose something... nothing was applicable.

My Creative Cloud desktop app has looked like this for a little bit now, even in chat with tech support... screenshots below. It is not hindering functionality, but annoying to look at... there must be a way to fix it without spending half a day uninstalling every adobe app so i can uninstall creative cloud , run cleaner, and then spend the next half a day reinstalling apps and making sure everything is copacetic again... anyone seen this before? i cant see anything in CC settings that should cause this to happen, and is not corrected by switching my computer to light mode.

Yes, me too.  Light and dark modes display incorrectly.  My adobe apps hang or don't work.  Is this a Catalina problem?

i (and many others) have catalina a no problem, so it's not just an adobe/catalina problem.

 

otoh, if you were on the cusp of upgrading to big sur anyway, this would the time to uninstall everything cc, clean using the cc cleaner, upgrade your os and then install the cc desktop app.

Turn off Dark Mode in your OS settings.

Restart your computer.

Contact Apple.  It looks like you have a GPU problem.

Is this an M1 chip machine?

Are you running Big Sur with latest updates?

if it were just a cc app problem, why does your chat screenshot show the same problem?

That is a good question, it does not now, only at that point when i clicked over to it from CC Desktop, i cannot replicate the problem in the chat window.
