Popup turns white

Yeah same, every time you re-launch the debugger in Node it uses the light theme.

I have tried every combination of options and nothing resolves it, including using the "Override System Theme" UI option in the Chrome extension and ensuring dark theme is selected.

It doesn't matter whether it opens in new window, or tab. Same behavior.

When you open the settings in the inspector window, it shows Dark selected. The only way to switch it to dark is to open settings and alternate between "System Preference" and "Dark" every time it connects, which is far from a viable workaround.

This started for me July 31, 2024, but I see this issue was opened May 21.

NiM Version: 3.9.1
OS: Windows 10 19045.4651
Chrome: 127.0.6533.73

Is there an ETA on the fix?

Anything I can do to help troubleshoot let me know. Big supporter of your work, thanks for your efforts over the years.

I think you might be talking about a different issue. To try and describe this issue a bit better...

When the popup window is open, it will sometimes go completely blank (i.e. white, a blank white background) as in all the elements appear not to be rendered.

What you are describing seems to be an issue with the light/dark theming? If you can provide a screen capture it would help.

Yeah I realized that after I posted it, sorry about that. But this came up on a Google search and so I was hoping if anybody else had the same issue they'd easily find the open issue so I didn't move it.

No worries and thanks for the extra info.

Did some searching and it looks like the issue you are having is due to a bug in Chromium itself. See https://issues.chromium.org/issues/352496164

Apparently a fix has been made:

Verified the fix on latest canary #128.0.6603.0 using Windows 10, Linux Debian and Mac 14.5
Observed that the "DevTools theme" is applied in hosted mode

But you'll need to wait for that version or use Canary for now...

Also, thanks for the prior positive feedback and for being a supporter!

Wow thanks for the fast reply! Totally makes sense. And yeah will always be a supporter love your work. Thanks again!

@isomx
I actually just pushed another update that should immediately serve as a fix until Google pushes their updates. NiM has had this capability for a while now but there was a small issue I needed to fix with the custom devtools settings.

Anyway, if you use the hosted devtools frontend or build and run it locally yourself you should be able to work around the issue just fine because NiM will use the DevTools code you point it to instead of the built in version that happens to be on whatever version of Chrome (Chromium) you're running.

• build yourself: instructions here https://chromium.googlesource.com/devtools/devtools-frontend/+/main/docs/get_the_code.md
• hosted: or just use the hosted version here https://devtools-frontend.june07.com/inspector.html

That should work for you since the light/dark mode seems to be working fine in the latest release. Here's a screenshare of me using both local and hosted versions...

Let me know how that works out for you...

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Works perfectly.

This was truly above and beyond, thank you.
