Hello all. I am moving over to compose material 3 and I am struggling to figure out why I cannot change the title and action colors in the TopAppBar. Code in reply
TopAppBar(
   ...
   colors = TopAppBarDefaults.smallTopAppBarColors(
      containerColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.tertiary,
      actionIconContentColor = Color.White,
      titleContentColor = Color.White,
      navigationIconContentColor = Color.White
   )
)
However title text and icons are both black.

How does your
title
composable child look like? Does it use its own text color? You can print
LocalContentColor.current
inside that child to verify that you’re indeed getting the white color, but the child itself would need to not override the color that is being set at the
TopAppBarLayout
level

Thanks, good thing to check. I do not override the color there:
title = {
   Text(
      text = title,
      maxLines = 1,
      overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis,
      style = MaterialTheme.typography.titleLarge
   )
},
Possibly an import or dependency isssue?

Somewhat related but is TopAppBar even a M3 component? I’m only seeing app bars such as CenterAlignedTopAppBar

Yes, from my import TopAppBar replaces the deprecated SmallTopAppBar
@Deprecated(
    message = "Use TopAppBar instead.",
    replaceWith = ReplaceWith(
        "TopAppBar(title, modifier, navigationIcon, actions, windowInsets, colors, " +
            "scrollBehavior)"
    ),
    level = DeprecationLevel.WARNING
)

There’s an m2 version and an m3 version

Start by adding
color=LocalContentColor.current
in this
title
block to verify that your white color is propagating correctly

This is something that you’ll need to debug then step by step. See that the right color is set on the
TopAppBarColors
that you create at the top, and then trace where
titleContentColor
is being pushed down to
TopAppBarLayout

Looks like it is, weird.

Make sure all your imports are consistent. E.g you aren't using the material 2 text / theme apis

Right, maybe that
Text
is from M2 and not M3

Well, that of course is it. I still had an import for m2.Text
Thank you!
