Seeing the same in Arch Linux. Tried manually adjusting the css file, but had absolutely no effect. I'm wondering if Messenger have changed the attribute name for the incoming messsage background colour.
Yes this is coming from a change on Messenger's side. A hacky way to fix that at the moment is to modify the file darkmode.css (you can access its location when editing your messenger service) and to change line 4 to
.__fb-light-mode .x1n2onr6 {
If you want to be more precise, you can simply change the value of the variable --chat-incoming-message-bubble-background-color in the css class .x1n2onr6 which is now forcing the background colour to be white instead of respecting the value set in .__fb-light-mode (it purely overrides it).
If anyone else has a better way to deal with that, feel free to propose your changes, mine is very rough and just to get rid of the problem quickly :wink:
Nice work @Alphrag - looks to have done the trick. Figured it had to be something like that.
I hoped for a quick fix like this @Alphrag , but sadly not working for me.
