Hello.
I use Phoenix 1.8 with LiveView 1.1.16, phoenix_html 4.3.0 and daisyUI 5.0.35.
I use the usual light and dark themes for daisyUI and i have some strange behavior of input (select) element with dark theme (different behavior of an element for Windows and Linux OS).
In Win with Edge:
In Win with FF:
On a light background, light font is almost invisible.
In linux it’s ok.
In Linux (Ubuntu) with FF:
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Or may be is it possible to set the background color for the drop-down menu directly? How can this be done?
Where Next?

Maybe you have a browser plugin in your Windows browsers that interferes? I have DarkReader and I have to make it not activate on certain websites because it introduces exactly the eye-sores that you are showing.

Thanks, dimitarvp!
I don’t use any browser plugins. Just in case, I tried it on a different computer – the situation is the same.
I use standard elements from core_components.ex and all elements work fine with the dark theme except “input” (select).
Moreover, I tried setting the background color directly (for example bg-green-900) and again got different behavior:

Any other ideas?
If anyone is using the “input” (with “select” option) element with dark theme, please share your experience.
