Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4346

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

It seems like the desktop app is built with the assumption that the user's Windows OS is running dark mode for programs that support it.

This was the loading splash screen for me and the followup screens for the model installation weren't much better.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

OS is Windows 10, no dark mode settings in the Control Panel or via other means. Programs that have a preference for dark mode will usually adjust their own windows instead of relying on the default window background with the assumption the user has defaulted the desktop to dark mode.

Just to confirm, this is only for the splash screen and onboarding setup where this is an issue? Can you provide some screenshots of what the onboarding pages look like? Also, please confirm what version of the desktop app you are on here, latest is 1.8.5-r2.

The onboarding had the same issue initially but after closing it and reopening the program they eventually showed up just fine. It's only on the splash screen this issue seems to happen, changing the app settings to dark mode fixed it going forward.

The desktop app should assume whatever the system default is (with a fallback of dark mode!) - did you set some kind of app specific theme on Windows? If so how do you do that so we can repro
