I have a page with a number of Typography components on it. ![Screenshot 2025-01-20 at 10.16.48](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/b/9bc574a9f4b7732f56b6cf3cdc02ebdfc5c23967.png) When I start Elements and navigate to that page, the text is displayed as if the Dark mode was on but the Light mode icon is selected. Clicking on Dark and back to Light fixes it. I can’t see how to attach a video so here are three screenshots. ![1_screenshot](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/6/56ddca4bfcf1cd4ab10ca96ff8affbf2ebc28e82.png) ![2_screenshot](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/4/2429e5e878180e2df956f72dec6b4b898a241282.png) ![3_screenshot](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/a/ea2104df970fb8c8b6d2356eb239615f1c2cd6bc.png) Video at; [https://russ-hore.co.uk/rwe/4\_screen\_recording.mov](https://russ-hore.co.uk/rwe/4_screen_recording.mov) ---

Thanks for the bug report, is it just the typography component that is affected? i.e. you haven’t noticed it on anything else? ---

I haven’t tried, but I will 🙂 I added a Text component above the first Typography component and it displayed fine. ![Screenshot 2025-01-20 at 11.14.38](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/6/868492059229b82b3cb80547adfd4b88d8801fe0.png) ---

Isn’t that the same than I reported for the Text Component here? > [@Bug? in the Text Component](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/bug-in-the-text-component/45936): > > Hi @dan I came to something strange in the Text component. I created a kind of link list for a footer and as long as the text is not linked everything looks normal. But when I set a link to the Text something is wrong. Please have a look to the screenshot. The Text is set to a near white color but it appears with this theme in dark gray. When I hover over the links everything looks again as to be ok. Something wrong with my settings? Or have I found a bug grinning ---

@dan I’m also seeing issues with Light/Dark mode that only showed up in the most recent BETA release. I have a Web3Form that shows the text fields with a DARK background when opened, even though the background is WHITE. I have to toggle the editor appearance a couple of times to fix the problem. The site I’m building does not support DARK mode so it should not be affected by the mode. ![CleanShot 2025-01-20 at 09.50.16@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/5/4/547c7d8996abb736d70f3f91a3693dc01f370276.png) Is this bug related.
