Dark Theme “Developer” Text Incorrectly Displayed on Unsuccessful Page Request

Summary

I recently came across a minor visual bug on the Roblox Developer Forum that causes the “Developer” text in the top-left corner of the website to incorrectly display its Default Theme appearance when Dark Theme is enabled. A similar bug to this has been previously reported and solved, however in this instance the bug occurs only on the page presented when a requested page is non-existing or private.

Reproduction

The bug can be reproduced by doing the following:

1.) Enable “Dark Theme” from the Interface tab of the Preferences page
2.) Visit any non-existing or private page by typing the desired page URL into your browser’s search bar from a computer, such as https://devforum.roblox.com/test

Result

When these steps are followed, the text reading “Developer” in the top-left corner of the page will display its Default Theme appearance despite Dark Theme being enabled, meaning the “Developer” text will appear black instead of white on this page. This makes the text difficult to read against the Dark Theme top bar, as illustrated below.

Current Text Appearance:

Current%20Dark%20Theme%20Appearance

Expected Text Appearance:

Correct%20Dark%20Theme%20Appearance
