MacOS Tahoe: Visual Bug with Dark Mode and Light Icon

Hello!


Like many others, I imagine,


I was really excited to upgrade my MacBook Pro to 26.0 (Tohoe)!


Except for the unpleasant surprise with dark mode management :/


Some widgets are managed well, but others haven't been updated:

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. The setting you're looking for is in System Settings > Appearance > Icon & widget style. If set to Default, you'll get white backgrounds on calendar widgets, black backgrounds on stocks widgets, orange backgrounds on tips widgets, etc. Set it to Dark if you want them all dark. Note that this affects the Dock icons, as well.
