AppBar text not seen in light mode

Hi, I ve just realized that the text and back icon of AppBar is white, so not visible on my app.

The code in the theme file looks ok: I tried chaning foreground color to something else, but UI does not care :slight_smile:

      appBarTheme: const AppBarTheme(
        foregroundColor: Colors.black,
        backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      ),

When I switch to dark mode, everything is ok.
Screenshot below… (edit: sorry! since I am a new user, I am not allowed to upload photos :frowning: )

I opened the starter project from github, and I am using my real device to run the apps.

Just curious. Does it work on an emulator?

I just opened the final code from github and run the app both on Android emulator and iOS simulator.
The result is the same.

Additionally, I changed the AppBarTheme as follows for both light and dark theme in FooderlichTheme class. And I saw no effect !

      appBarTheme: const AppBarTheme(
        foregroundColor: Colors.yellow,
        backgroundColor: Colors.red,
      ),

However, if I comment out backgroundColor in onboarding_screen.dart

appBar: AppBar(
        //backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
        elevation: 0.0,

Then the appbar color returns to red! But the text color is not affected :slight_smile:

I am totally confused now :smiley: :smiley:
