[Help] Why are my system apps displaying off white?

xXSirDanglesXx@lemmy.world to Android@lemmy.world – 58 points –

It's not just chrome, but calendar, calculator, my status bar and everything turned to that ugly yellow color and just yesterday they were normal white.

I don't have any night mode/color interesting/blue filter settings on so I don't know what changed.

I work in construction and my phone constantly opens things in my pocket when I sweat while at work.

The description is supposed to say night mode/color inverting*/... sorry for the typo.

Might be Material You theming everything to match your wallpaper.

What is Material You? Afaik I have no themes installed, I don't personalize that far. All I have installed as far as personalization is Nova Launcher which I haven't changed anything for, for like 10 years.

This seems to be the official announcement from back when it was released. Material You is like an automatic theming engine in newer versions of Android.

There might be an invert colors option in the notification drawer. Swipe down from the top of your screen and see if you can find anything that might do that.

There is no invert color option in the notification drawer that's specific to those apps. I do have the invert color option in there but have never used it and it's currently inactive.
