Text

composable when not placed in a

Surface

seem to not apply

Material Theme

correctly. So when I do:

Column {
    Text()  // This text color is black in both light and dark theme
}

It seems that

ContentAmbientColor

is not properly set for

onBackgroundColor

(composables not part of a surface). Its really hard to trace what exactly is the problem though, as routing to sources in the IDE is currently broken.

Your top level component should typically be a

Surface

, a

Scaffold

(which internally contains a

Surface

), or some other component that sets content color for you. It is the responsibility of the component that provides the background to also set content color.

hmmm that make sense... kinda forgot about scaffold for while there..
