Both of my browsers are in light mode. Windows 11 is in light mode. Adobe Express is stuck in dark mode and I can't read the text (everything has not switched properly).

I have gone to the settings where my icon picture is and see only 4 choices, none for the theme. How do I switch the theme so that I can read the page? Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt response. There is nothing to record. I open the app. It is dark when it is opened and after using the "+" button, it is dark and unreadable. Here are the screenshots.

Hi @kimbriggsdotcom

Can you please try the method below:

Press Windows key+R to open Run then copy and paste the path below to open the old Personalization.

shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921}

Press Enter

Under Windows default, select Windows or Windows (light)

Restart your computer.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks

I entered the text as described and it took me to the Personalization page, so I set the them to light again. The Adobe program was dark, but changed so that I could not read the text (white text on dark background). I used the refresh button and got a page with mixed results. Please know I am happy to use the web interface, as I only gain about the space of my bookmarks row. I'm not going to be working on this any more. Thank you.
