hello and thanks for reporting. I don't understand why changing the display prop should change the color..? Can you please expand on this (add screenshots if needed)? Maybe you should include the color-changing bit. Thanks!

Hello, my point was not changing color with display prop. I meant that when I set accentColor from styles.xml on date picker, main color in my case it is dividers like in the screenshot I attached is not updating for spinner mode, but if I use default mode, accentColor is applied successfully.

I had this props and picker color was default green.

mode="time"
display={Platform.select({ ios: 'spinner', android: 'clock' })}

When I changed clock to default for android - then color change to defined in styles.xml. Visually nothing changed.

@DovletAmanov How were you able to change the button's colors? I am unable to do even that

EDIT: Managed to do this
