It forces apps that don't currently have dark mode into dark mode. I like!

Dark mode is nice now
I only use it after sunset.

I may change to dark mode all the time.

Folks on Reddit say it's due to having the desktop experience enabled under developer settings, which I had enabled. I just turned that off and am trying again.

Interesting. What does desktop experience do?

When you plug into a monitor it gives you a computer like setup. Kinda like Samsung's DEX ... Only worse LOL. Google's approach just doesn't seem as polished ... Which is why I guess they buried it in the developer settings. I hope Google improves it and makes it a standard feature ... I used to use DEX quite a bit back in my Samsung days.
