So a HUGE waste of money. I have bought many themes from the themes shop and now NOT ONE of my keyboards shows the new theme. They have all reverted back to the original grey/ black keyboard. Also any new themes I get, the keyboard doesn't change to the new theme. Thanks Samsung, you really know how to push your customers over to Apple. How can you keep advertising nice keyboards in your theme shop and then not giving us what we paid for. Blatant false advertising just to trick us into spending money and then not delivering what we bought. Fix this or face a class action lawsuit.

The themes are written by developers not Samsung @Interceptor22 so it might be beneficial to contact the developer of the theme to explain whats happening i.e the bug with keyboard and rhey may be able to help.

Thank you very much for the info. The reason I said Samsung is that the lack of keyboard support is coming from all the developers themes so I thought it must be the new Samsung update that has stopped the themes coming through more than the developers themselves.

My phone just updated as well and my keyboard theme no longer works. Way togo Samsung! Ugly flat keyboard that I paid for. Doesn't matter I shouldn't have to wait for a dev to fix when it was samsung that didnt make sure themes would stay working

So I just spent a ton of money on another Galaxy phone (despite all the trouble I had with the last galaxy) to keep my themes & you just didn't bother to fix this issue?! I think this phone is going back to the store & I'll find an adroid phone where the makers care about thier customers & the hudge amount of money spent on their products!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Android 5.1.1. I installed Google Now Launcher then I installed a theme from Samsung theme store, which replaced the default icons. After removing the theme and the launcher, I came back to Google Now, and although the theme was removed, the same Icons remain, even with default theme. Tried countless reinstalls of Google now launcher, but still no results.

Fyi for anyone googling this or looking for this still. I had my s7 edge display scaling set to condensed to fit more on the screen. Once I changed it back to standard (with the material Samsung theme applied) and rebooted the correct icons appeared. Could be that the change forces the launcher to recreate icons or clear it's cache etc.

Also, stock android lovers, install good lock from the galaxy app stores to bring the stock android notification shade and status bar into your s7. Got a very stock feel now with Samsung material theme, Google now launcher and good lock.

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S7. It's a compatibility issue with using the 3rd party launcher. If I do a soft reset (vol down + power key) some of the icons will reset (the phone, contacts, and some of my apps). The only ways I have found of changing all the icons back to the default is by doing a factory reset. I have spoken with Samsung support and it doesn't sound like there is any willingness to correct this issue.

I fixed it I had same problem! Search apps.. find Google now launcher app on your phone. (I forgot i downloaded it) click it, then choose TouchWiz, bam fixed. My icons were also messed up when trying to switch back to default theme they wouldn't switch back to the default icons so the way I did that was find easy mode, apply easy mode under "personal" in settings, go back again after applying easy mode and apply standard mode. All icons will be restored to default.

Google App seems to cache the icons used when first setting it up. Go to Settings-Apps, find it and clear launcher data. It will reset your homescreen layout but will not mess with other Google data such as search preferences.

I have a website with css styling. When I view in certain browsers when dark mode is enabled the css is absolutely destroyed and the colours which have changed in my site look absolutely hideous. How can I prevent my css/colourschemes being changed because of dark mode?

When I opened my url via a link sent on whatsapp on my android device the default browser - Android's 'internet' application automatically restyles the CSS because I have dark mode active. If other users go to my page and have dark mode active I would prefer them to see the original styling not the dark mode edited version.

I found out that you can use this media query to set css for dark mode: @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {. I could duplicate my whole css file which is currently 3000 lines long with dark and light with the same code between the parentheses but this seems nonsensical. Is there any other methods which would work?

meta color-scheme dark Only means its not changed any css by force dark mode. But in light mode, some backgrounds are force changed to black.So, I checked light/dark mode and write it on dark mode only.

Think about this though, if you are using browser darkmode and go on a website and it stays the same as the lightmode, how would you feel? Personally I get really pissed and leave immediately from a website like that. So I would actually recommend not changing the colors. Users want darkmode for a reason, probably because they don't want bright colourful things hurting their eyes. If they want to use browser darkmode, they understand what will happen to the colors of websites.

That being said, if your elements are disappearing because of this darkmode, look into the root cause first. Understand why they are changing before slapping !important on everything. That is lazy and does not look good on you as a developer.

You will face this issue in Samsung internet browser only. if the user has enabled dark mode In "Samsung internet browser(mobile)", the browser automatically changes the css of website to suit to dark mode. no matter if you applied the same css you applied for light mode/default within @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)

So if you want to make your website look better in Samsung internet browser, you can detect the samsung browser using this javascript line navigator.userAgent.match(/samsung/i) and apply separate CSS class for Samsung browser.

Before You do all that, please check if you did not do the mistake, that I did -We're talking here about forced dark theme on mobile, that You think your browser, most probably Chrome, is forcing on every website making it's background black and text white.
