Perhaps future versions of the toolkit will fix this, but for now that's the way it is. Your two options are:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>1) Don't use dark mode when using Chimera.

The in-window menus don't suffer from this problem.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There is also sort of a third option: use our new program ChimeraX.
