iOS beta - dark mode incomplete?

I installed the TestFlight of iOS beta. So far it seems stable. 

I'm wondering if Dark Mode is still in progress?  When enabled, there is still a lot of light mode content, such as the book/chapter chooser panel and all the settings panels. Some of it is hard to read due to low contrast (to my eyes anyway!)

The slider bar between the top/bottom windows is bright and can be distracting in dark mode.

I tried a sync but it seems to require the desktop app, which currently crashes on macOS 26 Tahoe beta.

Will syncing ever support iCloud vs Accordance's cloud?

  I have also experienced some of the Dark Mode issues you are reporting.

  We will never be able to offer iCloud syncing (hence why we had to invest the lengthy amount of time in developing our own solution) because of the following restrictions from Apple: 1. We'd have to move the app to the App Store only, which would compromise the overall performance of the app. 2. We wouldn't be allowed to offer iCloud syncing in our Windows app (even though Apple itself offers iCloud syncing for Windows).

  These two restrictions were a non-starter for us, so we decided to invest in the time to be 100% in control of our own syncing system (even though it was a massive undertaking) than rely on Dropbox, iCloud, or anyone else.

  In my opinion the dark mode was better before the 3.5. Beta. iPhone X

  The iOS App has also a bug I reported before. 
  
  If you are on Dark Mode. And you start Accordance then it is first on dark, then bright and then dark. The bright between is a bug. 
   

  Now even after initial bug, it is not on dark mode anymore. Even worse than before.
