Device selector does not support default Light theme

[lukef]

The default Light theme in intellij/android studio has a dark header bar. There is a Light + Light header variant as well. If you select the Light theme you will get:

This looks very different with the latest UI. Here is the selector in my editor:

Could you try to uninstall and install the plugin again and see if it works?

I think you're using dark mode in that screenshot. The issue isn't for Dark vs Light. The issue is for the default Light mode that uses a Dark header.

For instance:

Light = Light content with a DARK header
Light with Light Header = Light content with a LIGHT header

I dug into the issue a little and I'm not sure whether there is sufficient information from the IntelliJ SDK to determine if the header is a "dark variant" or not. It seems to only report on the theme as a whole.

My result when using Light is still different from yours.

What version and IDE is this? I'm using the latest stable releases and mine doesn't look anything like that.

I've the same issue appearing in both IntelliJ IDEA (2024.3.5 (Ultimate Edition)) and Android Studio (Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2.)

Are you using a light theme for the system? Would changing it be helpful?

I've tried both of system setting themes and the issue stays same.

Having the same issue. Clearly an issue with the plugin.
