dark mode = black highlight = can't see text

i'm currently using the mac dark mode which seems to have an issue with browsers. i use both safari and chrome. right now when i search in the address bar or highlight something, the highlight is black and the text remains black. basically meaning i can't see anything. is there a fix around this?

Hi imperiatus,

Happy Holidays! You can change the preferences for your highlighted text as well so that you can read text in the address bar in Safari and other apps.

Make your menu bar and Dock dark

You can give your desktop a darker look by setting your menu bar and Dock to be dark.

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General.

  2. Select “Use dark menu bar and Dock.”


Change button, menu, window, and highlight colors

Use the General pane of System Preferences to choose new colors for buttons, menus, windows, and highlighted text.

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click General.

  2. Click the Appearance pop-up menu, then choose the color you want.

  3. Click the “Highlight color” pop-up menu, then choose the color you want.

Cheers,

Judy
