Image Icons are not visible in Dark Mode

Question

In Dark Theme, the Image Icons are not visible. The background color inside each icon is way too dark or there is an overlay on top of them that is way too dark. It makes it impossible to use Dark Theme. ☹️

This makes it impossible to use Dark Mode since I need to be able to see Image Icons.

Hi​@david.oliver,Thanks so much for flagging this, and I'm sorry the image icons are hard to see in dark mode! That's definitely not the experience we want for you. I have shared your feedback with our product team.Dark Mode optimization across all design libraries is an ongoing focus. Our team is actively updating contrast ratios and element behaviors so everything displays correctly.If you have a minute, could you share which shape library or icons you're seeing the issue with (a screenshot would be amazing)? That'll help us make sure those get on the team's radar.Thanks again for your patience and for helping us make dark mode better!

All of the icons are nearly impossible to see in Dark Mode. If you use the actual image icon search (not the top level new search across everything box you have).

Thanks for the answer and sending this to your product team.

You can easily test this yourself. They are almost black like a super dark black veil is on top of them. Until your team fixes this, I think a lot of people will find it is impossible to use dark mode which is a shame. The white is really hard on my eyes.
