I found nothing to change the color of the nav buttons, does anyone know how to do this?

I have the same issue on an Android 10 device on the light theme. On the dark theme, it's fine. Is it possible to have a full time dark theme dark navigation bar or is it not possible to split the nav bar from the overall theme?
