so I’m having trouble getting my Apple clock widget get into dark mode. I have it set properly in appearance. Dark mode tile selected and set to always but the clock stays white. Is this a bug?? Why would Apple not let you change the clock widget color to dark mode??? Any help would be appreciated!
I have MacBook Air m2 running Tahoe

This maybe depending on >> System Setting >> Appearance >> Appearance
First image is using Dark ( Appearance )
Second image is using Light ( Appearance )
The Clock Face with the hands with time marking does not change
Only the surrounding of the Clock will change
Tested on a M4 Desktop running Tahoe, the first commercially released version of macOS 26.0
First image - Dark
Second image - Light
For what it's worth, in the past, the clock widgets normally changed to light after sunrise and dark after sunset. They no longer change if you have Appearance > Icon & widget style set to Clear or Tinted. I don't know if it's a bug or an omission.
Feel free to send Apple feedback.
