Hello! In the menu-bar Perspective has as default Theme selector there is no a built-in color so dark themes have dark letter. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/c/7c7bb85f056c85e202a0539ff004b09c260fa4ee.png) I added the --neutral-90 color and works fine. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/f/df9d6775aac8db24899f182c8b2f93d180ebeb60.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/a/1ae40d8d31a9379f2591ceffd2a394f0f9657b44.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/1/01b5623be6cd52face804936d43770b4690793d9.png) Cheers. ---

What is theme dropdown? is that a new component? cus the normal dropdown definitly has a color. Maybe you are overriding it somewhere ---

HI! I mean the default menu in an Ignition Perspective starting project, has a dropdow which allows you to choose themes and this dropdown does not include theme colors itself ---

every dropdown should have, but maybe that Header/dropdown class overwrites it by accident ---

You are right, I had a property overwriting the color, sorry for the post ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/e/9e2f91366dc2be46ac12a067bcc6598b3f2af510.png) ---

That style was also provided by the template, but maybe you editted it, or maybe an different version has that as default no idea ---

In this case one of the `--neutral-xx` theme variables would have avoided the problem. ---
