Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

I can help with the menu part. Look up "alacart" in the pop store. When installed it's called "main menu." Use that to add/remove/edit the items in your launcher menu thing.

Thanks! That fixed my rogue OpenRGB icon!

Managed to fix it myself, but with Gnome Extensions. I suspected the issue started when I installed Gnome Tweaks. But maybe it was Gnome Extensions.

I opened Gnome Extensions, scrolled down to User Themes, turned it on and in the selection menu selected Pop Dark. It defaulted to default. Once I did that, the Applications window looked right again. Why it only affected the Applications window, I have no idea yet. But now it looks right.

Oh nice, pop_os is moving off of gnome towards COSMIC so that kind of issue wont happen anymore

I'm trying really hard not to go down the rabbit hole of themes, because I know Cosmic is coming. Just haven't seen any ETA on that other than maybe an alpha later this month.
