DU 4 Desktop

I'm unable to see DU4 on my desktop chrome browser. All I see is black, some little icons, no words and no way to tell how to switch to skinner mode or light mode.
I see everything just fine on my phone with chrome as well.
How can I fix it?

I was able to switch to skinner mode and light and everything is fine now.
So essentially dark mode doesn't seem to work via desktop chrome browser.
Dark Mode was fine on my phone browser.
Weird.

We're working on trying to fix it this morning. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the error at my end so it's been a bit tricky to track down, but we're making progress.

For now, if you're experiencing this issue the solution is to use one of the other modes until we're able to fix the problem. I'm confident we will be able to fix it, so I appreciate your patience. Hopefully we'll be able to get it cleared up very soon.

I’m not alone and a fix is on the way. I was able to access DU4 on my laptop via Chrome prior to the complete roll out.

I really like DU4 and dark mode is teh bomb.

I have light sensitivity so it really helps me to be able to read more without irritating my eyes as much.

That's what I figured.
Good luck sorting it out.
I much prefer dark mode for DU and any apps/cell settings etc.
