I'm wondering if anyone has a fix for the missing invisible elements from the design view window when you have chosen to view invisible elements? If I choose either of the two dark app themes the icons are invisible. They're visible on the two lighter app themes. I saw a question from June last year but it was marked as answered but the problem still persists. Any ideas? Is there are way to edit the UI ourselves or make our own app themes? I know I can create custom code colouring but what about app themes?
Here is my test code:

That doesn't do anything. It certainly doesn't fix the issue. I know where those menu options are. I'm trying to view "invisible elements" not CSS Layout Backgrounds.

Here's the app in a light app theme with a split screen showing the invisibles.
Here's the app in a dark app theme with a split screen showing the invisibles are invisible. Funnily, there are blank placeholders there where the icons should be so it seems like they meant to create a different icon set but didn't bundle it with the app.

Here is my test code:
View > Design View Options > Visual Aids (all items checked).
And this is Design View with a dark interface. I'll admit, some icons are faint but even these tired old eyes can see them.

Aha, that's it. The icons are white on a white background. If I change the background to something dark I can see them. Strange that DW wants to use dark icons in an area that will predominantly be white. I guess if I can find the locations of these UI elements I could make a photoshop script to convert them all to a different colour.

I'm using Dreamweaver 18.2 as I'm on Windows 8.1 Enterprise and it doesn't appear that DW CC 19 is compatible with that ... Dreamweaver system requirements

I'm trying to get these to show in design view. If I change to the lighter app themes they show. If I use either of the dark themes you can't see them.
