    Urgent Improvement Request: Please implement a more consistent application of UI setting options (especially "Dark Mode") in the sense of an essential accessibility aid.

    The adaptability of the user interfaces in some Adobe Creative Cloud apps (e.g., InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc.) is not consistently executed. The needs of individuals, including designers and developers, with visual impairments (yes, they do exist!) are largely overlooked. This is not a trivial matter and could be considered discriminatory. Especially considering that Adobe Creative Cloud is an outstanding and decades-evolving app network for professionals that creative individuals cannot ignore. Adobe dominates the market and sets great standards on many levels.

    However, such a deficiency does not align with the image of a forward-thinking company and harms the brand image. Adobe should urgently address this issue and consider the needs of ALL Creative Cloud users!

    Detailed Problem Statement:
    When the user interface is set to a dark mode in the app's preferences, the unfolded "hamburger menus" of the palette windows with setting options unfortunately still appear in glaring white. This also applies to various context menus and subsections in different places and on different levels of Adobe apps. Even though the system settings are set to "dark mode," the Adobe app, for example, continues to present white selection windows when opening new files or importing files through the main menu.

    Here is a corresponding thread from the Adobe Community with screenshots illustrating the deficiency in Adobe InDesign, for example:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/dark-mode-in-indesign-and-other-adobe-apps-leaves-out-hamburger-menues-in-window-panels/m-p/14381061

    Urgent wish for improvement:
    More consistent implementation of the setting options of workspace customisation in Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including all menus and views within the apps.
    Adobe sets an example itself in the Creative Cloud client, as in the preferences under "Color Theme," options like "Light," "Dark," and "Adopt System Setting" are offered (It would be fantastic if one could set the default for all apps at this point or a similar central option within each app). A user-defined color composition option for the appearance of all UI elements should also be integrated much more consistently than it has been so far and harmonized across apps.

    Thank you in advance for your attention and help!
