LyX v2.5.0 RC1 on Windows 11/64 bit, latest version.


I started to experiment with Color Scheme (see below), to see if that was 
related to the previously reported “problem” with white background for 
equations.



I installed LyX v2.5.0 RC1 without first deleting LyX v2.4.4, and later 
un-installed LyX v2.4.4. Up until now, LyX v2.5.0 RC1 has used exactly the same 
color scheme as in LyX v2.4.4. Then I have tried all of System Default, Light 
Mode, and Dark Mode. Switching between these models does not work smoothly: it 
appears to take time from I click on Apply to when the UI scheme changes, if it 
changes at all. The first time I tried Dark Mode, the background of the 
pull-down menu was black, and I cound’t see the text in the menu. After a 
couple of switches and restarts, that now seems to work. I have tried to switch 
back to System Default (is that the color scheme of LyX v2.4.4??). Sometimes, 
the UI colors change when I click on Apply or OK, but not always.

In spite of the fragility, I have observed three different color schemes:
1. A pale scheme, which I suspect is the System Default

2. A Dark scheme

3. A light sandstone color – is that Light Mode?
