White calendar widget in dark theme

Hi, I have a white calendar widget after updating to macOS 26, even though I have dark mode enabled in the general settings. How can I fix this? I already tried removing and re-adding the widget to the desktop and restarting the system, switch between dark and light mode, but nothing helped.


Thank you.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0

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.
