(SOLVED) Dark mode doesn't work properly in Chrome 81 1 Recommended Answer 5 Replies 44 Upvotes

After updating to Chrome 81 for macOS, the following areas do not adapt dark mode of system preferences any longer:

Link hover status bar;
Address bar and Omnibox.

Update:

Solution: Just restore to default theme to work it out. The reason is that we have already installed a theme for Chrome, mostly of pure black.

Jakub Sobel' answer is greatly appreciate!

(Ironically, the theme installed on my Chrome was even made by Chrome Team.)

To help native Chinese speakers as me:

在升级到 Chrome 81后，以下区域不再适配操作系统设置的深色模式：

鼠标悬浮到链接后左下角显示的状态栏；
地址栏以及多功能框。

解决方案：恢复默认主题就行了。因为之前已经安装了一个主题，大多是纯黑色之类的。

非常感谢 Jakub Sobel 的回答！

（讽刺的是我之前安装的主题竟然就是由 Chrome 团队制作的）

Same thing on Windows, seems like it's chrome in general. I hope this wasn't done intentionally.

I had the same problem after updating to Chrome 81.

It turns out that before Chrome had a built-in dark mode, I installed a dark theme from Chrome Web Store and then forgot about it. Resetting Chrome theme to default fixed the issues for me.
