Task Bar background color does not switch back to light mode in the morning

TheColonel2688 commented 2 months ago

Description

The theme automatically switches to dark mode at a specific time while I am using my computer. So that works fine. When I come back to it in the morning, the theme has switched back to a light mode like it should, BUT the taskbar background color is still black, but the Text color has changed back to Light mode (Black text), which makes the taskbar unreadable.

In order to fix this each morning, I open Task Manager and restart explorer.exe

Expected Behavior

I would expect it to change the taskbar background color back to the light mode color each morning.

service.log

It won't let me attach the config file; it says Yaml is not a support file extension. So here are the contents.

Please try enabling "Force dwm refresh" on the settings page

I actually have the opposite problem: before installing the app i had windows with black taskbar and white theme: at night no big deal: everything goes to dark mode, but when it switches back to light it affects the taskbar too. How can I prevent the taskbar from changing color?

This solved it for me

AutoDarkMode / Windows-Auto-Night-Mode
