Sidebar color change

Insta · March 30, 2026, 1:13pm

Same issue as others mentioned but not resolved.

Since last update for me 2026.2.1, the text of the sidebar is light blue which is hard to read in dark mode. I’ve checked that the server is up to date and it’s not related to Vaultwarden.

@Insta Welcome to the forum!

Are you using Vaultwarden?

Insta · March 30, 2026, 1:41pm

No we do not

Edit: Thanks for the welcome!

Okay, could you post a screenshot of your Admin Dashboard then for further information?

Edit : Wrong infos

No, like the screenshot here: Server & Client Versioning | Bitwarden

My bad! Images on your link doesn’t seem to work

It this what you are looking for then?
bitwarden.sh version 2026.3.1
Docker version 29.2.0, build 0b9d198
Docker Compose version v5.0.2

Oh, so images don’t load for you on the Bitwarden Help Sites?? (also @dwbit)

More or less! That’s what the link showed:

Hm. Then, I think this tracked on GitHub as a “bug”:

### Steps To Reproduce 1. Open Bitwarden ### Expected Result Left sidebar t…ext should be white on grey background. ### Actual Result Left sidebar text is blue on grey background and it just looks weird. See screenshots below. ### Screenshots or Videos This is what it looks like: <img width="251" height="590" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/293745c3-f1cf-44e2-81e8-39db780dc1c7" /> This is what it should look like: <img width="261" height="608" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/33bc2e56-fe71-462e-a5dc-c9a574c8b3df" /> ### Additional Context This happend after an upgrade from 2026.1.0 to 2026.2.1. In this case Bitwarden Desktop Client theme set to "Default". Windows set to Dark theme. Similar/same thing happens when windows is set to Light theme. It might have something to do with using a selfhosted server. If I add a private account on bitwarden.com to the client in the same client and switch between those accounts the layout of the sidebar changes. Exactly the same thing happens to a colleague doing the same upgrade. I've tried the following: Un-install, cleaning out files under %APPDATA%\Bitwarden, reboot and then reinstall. Didn't help. Selfhosted Server at 2026.1.1 ### Operating System Windows ### Operating System Version Windows11 24H2 ### Installation method Other ### Build Version Installer (.exe) and nsis (.7z) from github repo releases (https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/releases/tag/desktop-v2026.2.1) ### Issue Tracking Info - [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of GitHub. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

This is the help page on different broswer (brave, chrome, firefox)

And about the bug, do I have anything more to do?

Nail1684 · March 30, 2026, 2:34pm

You don’t have to. But it certainly wouldn’t harm if you added your details to that GitHub issue. (FYI: it’s always good to know about those issues also here on the forum, but Bitwarden bugs are tracked on GitHub)

Ok thanks for the help!

Fixed with the latest version!
