Window title text randomly changes color & becomes illegible

[xa4hf8]

Description

When multiple profiles are employed on the Mac platform, window title text color rotates in a pseudo-random fashion and theme settings are not obeyed.

---

Method to reproduce

Step 1.
Launch the browser with Profile #1 and it starts out correct with light title text on a dark background.

Step 2.
Open a new window in Profile #2 and it starts out correct with dark title text on a light background.



At this point, the color scheme in the foremost window of Profile #1 changes to dark text on a dark background. Selecting other windows in Profile #1 will likewise corrupt the title text color.



Step 3.
Open a new window in Profile #1 and the title text of selected windows in Profile #1 will return to normal.



Step 4.
Select a window in Profile #2 and the title text color of windows in Profile #2 are inverted.



Step 5.
Open a new window in Profile #2 and the title text of selected windows in Profile #2 will return to normal.



Step 6.
Select a window in Profile #1 and the title text color of windows in Profile #1 are inverted.



🔄 Return to Step 3.

@xa4hf8 Those theme colors were used before the light/dark theme support. There are newer colors, albeit less bright that are specific for light and dark theme that's the fix for this issue. Does selecting the new colors work for you?

That seems to resolve the issue, but all of the colors are dark pastel. This is not acceptable, so I guess the only alternative is to investigate theme design tools or choose a theme from the Chrome store — but the search & sort functionality there is rather poor, and many of those themes appear to be incompatible with Brave, for example:

1. The favorites bar is obscured by a horizontal line

• Greener Green
• Dallas Blue

---

2. Tab text is invisible (or barely legible)

• Matsuri
• Coco
• Flare
• Nene

---

3. Tab highlighting is practically invisible

• Kiara

---

4. Window title text is illegible

• Space Cadet

These are the most significant issues that I have identified, and the linked items here only represent a small sample of the unusable themes in the Chrome store.
