Here you can find a list of limitations for the latest ADM Version 10.3.0.82, as well as issues we are aware of that may or may not be fixed in the future:

Behavior that is normal and not a bug:

  • Changing the offset of night light right after it activated may cause the theme to switch back as the switch time is moved to the past.
    We are only able to detect if night light turns on or off and the time when it changes state at the moment.
  • When switching to or from daylight savings time, it may take up to 24 hours to update, as that is the internal update rate of the location module

Known limitations with chance of fixing in the future:

  • Wallpapers may not update correctly for single monitor systems that use virtual desktops

Known limitations of things that have little chance of fixing:

Related to Windows

  • Windows 11 22H2 builds 22621.674 and earlier might encounter more theme switching glitches. Install KB5019509 to improve theme switching reliability.
  • Spotlight wallpaper will only work when using classic mode, not with the "pick a theme" option. There are no settings in the theme files yet for spotlight. As a result, spotlight may sometimes randomly deactivate and show a wrong or a solid black wallpaper.
  • Taskbar, Explorer and start menu are occasionally not updating properly. This may include text and background color. Close and open the window or press the windows key to fix it.
  • The loading splash-screen color of UWP-native is not updating correctly.
  • Windows 11 22H2 - changes made to "enable accent color for titlebars and window borders" will only show up after a full theme switch instead of right away
  • Negative offsets for the Windows Night Light mode are not permitted.

Related to Auto Dark Mode

  • Mica in the app only works when titlebar colors are disabled and only on Windows 11 22H2 and up.
  • When you don't use Auto Dark Mode to switch your apps theme while having the auto switch notifications enabled, the following limitation applies: Starting the service and choosing to postpone the theme immediately will cause theme changes via our GUI to instantly trigger a full theme switch, disregarding postpone status. After this switch has performed, all future occasions of this scenario will function as expected.
