Can anyone help me with this techy question

Im not in dark mode, but the top and bottom of Chrome is showing up as black, if I switch to Samsung internet it's all white in there.. Not sure why I have this dark header..
Top | New | Old
I'd guess

That while your SW profile is NOT in Dark Mode

But either your internet browser or your cell phone is.

I also wonder if you're actually on the webpage or if you're just previewing it ... but maybe our browsers just look different

On my MacBookPro, I use Chrome and the SW app's top menu is "dark" even though I don't have it set to dark mode. Same with my Chrome on my iPhone.

The SW developers likely did not do the work needed to switch Chrome's headers to the theme you selected, so it defaults to dark mode.
@Northwest I don't think it's even possible for website makers to change the theme of the browser. I mean, how would that even work if you have two tabs open with websites that specify a different style for the shared menus?

@NerdyPotato They can use the Emulate CSS media feature prefers-color-scheme to simulate both light and dark mode themes, usually when testing their applications' appearance under different color schemes. They can also can use DevTools to apply other effects, to further test your web application's responsiveness to different visual styles.
@Northwest does that affect the browser menus or just automate the generation of a contrasting scheme for the website itself though?
I think it's your browser theme... I'll look to see if others say the same before I do go on.
@dirge so mine chrome looks like this-

red where yours is black. if you want to change your black areas of the browser to something else you can go to (in the url bar) chrome://settings, and search for theme where you can change stuff around. there's probably something ... similarish, but not quite the same for the samsung browser, but that'd be a google exercise, I think.
@dirge ok, I will have a look at this, thank you

Browser dark mode is not this sites dark mode.

See image. Notice my header is dark as well. I have both set.

I don't know what you mean by switched to "Samsung".
@Northwest Yes. But it is some Samsung derivative.

@SomeMichGuy
Yes. But it is some Samsung derivative.

Yes, both my fridge and oven top have it.
@Northwest Condolences. lol
I'm not sure, but maybe Chrome only has one theme for the browser itself?
It looks like a link and not open in a browser. Is your phone in dark mode? Not the app, just the phone.
