Device selector does not support default Light theme
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.
What version and IDE is this? I'm using the latest stable releases and mine doesn't look anything like that.

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.
I also see it on macos with the default light theme. The issue only happens in a light mode
A good workaround for now is to set preferred theme to "Light with light header", which makes the header light and hence the bug not so noticeable:
Could anyone still having the issue try using #8471 to build the plugin locally and verify if it resolves the issue?
