I have enabled the Dark Mode theme, but it fails to display and instead shows the white theme across all website paths. This issue occurs frequently.
You can see in this example that some parts of the website is in Dark Mode and some is not.
It seems to be related to the following API: User Settings API, which returns error codes 500, 502, or 429 due to rate limiting. (ratelimit happens because the request retries but the api is bugged)
This has been happening to me for the past 20-30 minutes. Additionally, some other webpages such as the Inventory, Favorites, Trade, Premium, Marketplace are completely light mode for me (note that this applies to all of the Inventory and Favorites pages for all users). However, pages such as Profile, Trade, and Groups are dark mode. For reference, I have set my website appearance to dark mode in the settings. I discussed this a bit in another post.
Update: Now, users’ profiles are in light mode, however their inventories and favorites are in dark mode (this is the opposite of what was happening earlier).
It’s flip flopping randomly between dark mode and light mode on page load. Sometimes you can get mixed dark and light mode on the nav/topbar versus page content.
I see the “theme-error-out” class in the DOM on the body element when it’s light theme and the user settings page is catching 500s.
When I went onto the homepage about 10 minutes ago my whole page is light mode; going to my settings I discover I get a nice error and roblox has some how changed dark mode to light mode. With more digging unlocking my settings have made it to where no button works and it just becomes grey.
My friend who originally owned this account and gave it to me was a girl, when unlocking my settings to change the gender this is what happens.
These are just my observations, I dont know if this even helps to anything.
Lol super fun fact, there’s two layers of where the theme is applied on Roblox.com. The DOM body has the theme defined as a class which determines the icon color in the nav and the page content color, but the nav+topbar itself has the same class also defined on its sub-element, which changes its colors in isolation. I’m not sure how they end up out of sync, web is a nightmare.
Same issue is currently happening to me. Getting a pop up “unknown error” when opening settings and attempting to switch back to a dark theme. My eyes are burning.
Thank god we are all in the same boat, i tought someone got access to my account lol.
The issue seems to be getting resolved from what I see my whole page is dark now, so somethings going right.
Made a more extensive report on the underlying issue here:
Would’ve just responded to this with extra info but the OP only scrapes the surface of the issue, so thought I’d make a new one
This is happening to me too, I was freaking out thinking I got hacked, so glad to hear that i’m not the only one having this, but I hope it gets fixed soon.
Also, some of the icons on the top bar appear black like they would in light mode, even when the top bar is in dark mode.
Like shown in this screenshot:
Edit: Didn’t realize the original post pointed that out with the red squares, sorry.
When trying to switch /to dark mode it sets it to light
Literally started happening to me right now. I thought someone messed up the site or something.
It appears game pages are also completely failing to load with a Server Error 500.
It’s very possible that Roblox isn’t just experiencing a partial service disruption in terms of settings, but rather something more.
What url are you referring to, and how frequent is it happening?
Roblox just went down repeatedly for a few seconds over the past ~30 mins. It seems okay now but it’s crazily inconvenient and needs to be fixed
Oh, at the time I was referring to the
https://www.roblox.com/games/id URL, which seemingly would return an Error 500 at random times.
I apologize for the late reply.
Hey everyone, are things ok now?
