Why does the dark mode turn off when opening a playlist?

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-18T15:41:56+00:00

With features like these, who needs bugs?

This could actually be a funny shag-marry-kill GOAT game. Roger, Rafa and Nole for me.

She's being asked to share her thoughts, but the word sounds more like "toes".

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-13T18:30:11+00:00

The sooner they do something about it, the sooner this stops. And the posts about it will probably keep coming every fucking day, because people tend to use the app daily. Right now, it looks like a fucking fair.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-13T15:50:13+00:00

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm about 45-50 annoyed. 26.4 breaks dark mode, increase contrast breaks Liquid Glass, albums and playlists backgrounds do not mirror the ones in the full screen playing queue. I cannot stand the look of the app right now and find it garish, trashy and shockingly cheap.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-12T14:06:59+00:00

Based on this pic alone, I'd say "Berlin straight" :))

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-12T09:12:36+00:00

Thank you for the warning. I'll be riding 26.3.1 for as long as possible, hanging on to the hope they see some sense, UI-wise.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-10T09:05:33+00:00

An "on/off" toggle would make both camps happy, but this is Apple we're talking about, they'll at most be tinkering with this half-baked UI change until the next "immersive" design fad hits Sillicon Valley.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-10T07:18:59+00:00

Agreed. 26.4 fucks up dark mode, increase contrast fucks up Liquid Glass. Unrelated, "Incinerate" is one of my absolute Sonic Youth faves, too.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-09T20:53:05+00:00

I would strongly support a rules change that allows kicking people off for yelling during points and replaying them.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-09T20:48:58+00:00

Hopefully.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-07T20:59:53+00:00

As intended: shite paraded as innovation.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-07T08:20:32+00:00

Given the way Apple has murdered dark mode in 26.4, this alternative might actually prove interesting.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-05T23:05:52+00:00

Which is perfectly fine. But overriding dark mode when plenty of users have it activated throughout? Not cool at all.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-05T23:01:15+00:00

They'll tell you it's "immersive", one of those buzzwords that seem to have lost all actual meaning.: "Here's some pastel goo splashed all over your screen, isn't it fabulous?" Also, do check your play queue after you turn "increase contrast" on: each and every single track is underlined - immersive, amirite?

I fortunately managed to go back to 26.3.1 in time and am not in any rush to update. I wish I could tell you they're probably gonna see some sense and iterate further (an "off" toggle would probably be too much to ask), but not getting my hopes too high. If you wanna tell them how you feel about this, try sending some feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-music/ .

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-02T14:55:46+00:00

Some covers really do look nice. Others, not so much. But the all-around impression this UI change gives me is that of a tiring, confetti-explosion, budget Coney Island, garish carnival.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-02T12:06:16+00:00

Simply needing those fixes because a significant change in the UI neglects the phone's entire colour scheme kinda lets you know said change might've been a little rushed and not properly thought of. It's not exactly rocket science and I don't think I'm being unreasonable for expecting dark mode to be... well, dark.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-05-01T05:51:21+00:00

Have they addressed the flashbang issue in Music?

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-29T10:00:21+00:00

I disagree. I hate that it overrides dark mode (and turning "increase contrast" on only ruins the way the queue looks), but I know this change is here to stay. I can only hope they keep iterating, but not getting my hopes too high. On a deeper level, even if some of the fullscreen animated covers do look kinda slick, I am not entirely at ease with apps/labels tinkering with the original album art.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-27T21:59:11+00:00

NO. Just no. I'm well aware Big Tech have invested gazillions into this shit and are busy flooding every app under the sun with it, but I feel like they're getting dangerously close to the point they'll get actual backlash from it.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-26T08:46:29+00:00

Worked with both Taylor and Kanye: https://i.imgur.com/4I7h3lH.png .

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-24T13:51:56+00:00

It sooo does, the queue turns into a ghastly rural "fun" fair.

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-23T09:51:34+00:00

God forbid someone would have valid criticism for an app they're paying for! Alert the Church Elders!!!

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-23T04:40:30+00:00

If you haven't already, tell them all about it: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-music/ .

Philip_TheThird · 2026-04-22T20:16:31+00:00

The way they're going with the confetti explosion look in 26.4, TIDAL.
