On my Ubuntu 18.10 laptop, whenever I download a file in Chrome I cannot read the warnings or button at the bottom of the screen. Like this:

Anyone know what is wrong here?

  • It was the Yaru-Dark theme causing the problem. Thanks. If you add this as a comment I will mark it as the solution. BTW I am using Wayland.

  • I just edited the answer to include directions on launching Google Chrome 73 in "dark" mode so that it plays nicely with Yaru-Dark and other dark themes.

This reported issue is seen with various "dark" themes including the dark variants of Adwaita, Materia, and Yaru.



Using a light GTK theme fixes the issue. But it is still possible to use a dark GTK theme and to have the contents of the Downloads bar visible. This requires Google Chrome v73 (or later).



Open Google Chrome > Settings > Appearance > Themes. There, ensure that Classic is being used and not GTK.



Close the browser and launch it like this:



google-chrome-stable --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode


Now, when you download something, the Download bar appears properly even with a dark GTK theme such as Yaru-Dark.

While the dark-mode switches to launch the browser are needed in version 73, they probably will not be necessary in later versions.
