Hey discourse community,
I have just installed discourse 2.9.0.beta3 on digital ocean on that domain => www.lecoindesdevoirs.fr
It looks like there is an issue with this latest version.
When I change the color palette, this is not taken into account and the site remains in dark mode.
I don’t have this problem with version 2.9.0.beta2
I followed this guide to install discourse: discourse/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
Can you confirm that there is a bug? And if so, what is the workaround? I haven’t found a way to install an older version.
Thank you

Hello and welcome @Alexandre_Guillemine 
Your site works for me in Light mode:
The two things I can think of would be:
- Sometimes you need to refresh your page for changes to become visible
- You’ve set the
default dark mode color scheme id, and your Discourse is picking up your dark theme preference from your browser
Do they help at all?

Hey Jammy,
I already tried that. I have deleted the cache, refreshed. Even in private navigation, it does not work.

I don’t understand. I already have updateed the colour palette on other sites without any problem. Here, clearly, it doesn’t work with beta3. I have another site with beta2 and it works, I can change the colour scheme.
On your side, did you do the test on a fresh install with a beta3 version?
Thank you,
Alexandre
Oh, I just realized that you have tested my site on your side … And you get the light mode 
That’s really really weird. Ok, so it’s related to my browser.

Indeed, I just tested on another machine and I have the light mode ! I just don’t understand why on my other machine I keep the dark mode. I did clear the cache though. Use private browsing.

Have you put that browser on Dark theme from the browser settings? When I flip to dark mode in Chrome and go to your site I get the auto-dark colours.
That’s really weird. My brower are not on dark theme. I have tested in 3 differents browers: safari, chrome and firefox. And for these 3 browsers on my mac, I always end up with a dark palette colour with discourse beta 3.
In addition, I can get the light pallet colour on another discourse ( beta2 version ) from this same machine and in these same 3 browsers. So, I really have the impression that it comes from the discourse version. I use a mac. I don’t have the issue on windows.
Is it possible to install an earlier version of discourse? For example, beta 2?
Ok, I just tested on another mac. And I don’t have the problem. So it seems to be related to my mac

I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with macs, but is it possible there’s a dark theme option for the device itself (rather than just the browser) that is having an effect?
