FCPX 10.4.3 Preview Window Dark

WEIRD issue I'm having. Suddenly my FCPX 10.4.3 preview window is extremely dark. Doesn't matter what clip, what project, etc. It's isolated to Final Cut and it's isolated to the viewer. The preview thumbnails look correct, but when you click on them to play/preview, they play back super dark. Any ideas?? Already tried trashing preferences twice.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Preview PDF transparency bug? As far as I can tell there is some kind of problem with the PREVIEW app with some kinds of PDF file. Transparent layers in some kinds of PDF file just come out as SOLID BLACK. This doesn't happen with other PDF programs. It's been this way since Capitan so maybe it's something unrelated to the O/S? If you've heard of this before what PDF files are affected? How can I effectively replace the preview app? What do you recommend? Adobe seems heavy and slow.

10.4.8 Viewer background preference does not work I usually have the viewer background as black, but sometimes when dealing with files with transparency, or when placing 4:3 images in a 16:9 frame it is useful to set it to checkerboard or white. Since updating to 10.4.8, the viewer background always stays as black, regardless of the setting in Preferences->Playback. I deleted preferences, of course, but it does not fix it. Before I use feedback to report this, I'd like to know if others are seeing the same problem. TIA

final cut pro menu are black as if in night mode Hello I do feel a little silly asking this, however I have Final Cut Pro running 10.5.2 and I have an issue that the backgrounds of all of my menus are black, as if the backgrounds of my menus are in Night Mode or Night Effect. There is probably a really simple reason for this which can be switched on and off , however I can not see how to change them back to light grey as if in normal daytime mode. I am not sure how I chan ged them in the first place. Can anyone help. I have attached a picture, which is the from the menu : Final Cut: Preferences: General. Thanks Chris
