(Not sure if this is the right forum for this.)

See title. I can also say that the blue-on-black of links (e.g. the download link in the "8.2.8 is available" notice) is very difficult to read on my screen.

It all still works, but it's just weird that only the notices tab has changed. So the question is: is this an intended change, a glitch on my system (Win11Pro on x64), or a bug?

I wonder if this means the manager now supports dark mode with windows? I have this on my Ubuntu box with dark mode enabled.

My Linux systems received an update to version 8.2.8, which is causing the following problems: 1) The language is English. 2) The "Notifications" tab is now black with white text.
I cannot change the language back to "German" even when I go to "Options/Other Settings/"
What can I do?
