Dark mode not working

Hello I have a question, why does the dark mode on my MacBook Pro does not work? It only applies to the menu bar but not on every other tab like system preferences and safari and others. Does anyone know why? I'm on Big Sur 11.5.2 but this issue has been since when I bought it.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Hi amzarazham, 



Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 



We see that you're having an issue with using Dark Mode on your MacBook Pro. We want to help. You can look at this article that talks about How to use Dark Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


You can look under the "How Dark Mode works with some apps and features" section for more information. For example, if some websites don't support Dark Mode in Safari, you would have to use Safari Reader to view them that way.


Reach back out with any questions. 



Best Wishes!

Hi Chris,


Thank you for reaching back to me.


The problem I'm having is regarding my OS and not the apps thah I used. For example, when my dark mode is on, only my wallpaper is in the dark mode but the rest such as System Preferences and Safari is not. It still uses light mode even though I am sure it is in dark mode.


I have included a picture for referencing.


Thank you, warm regards.
