All of a sudden my phone decided to enable the dark theme yesterday and I can't get it to go back to the light theme. I did not change my wallpaper - still on the default actually.
I've tried forcing it to go light under Settings > Display > Theme > Light but to no avail.
Anyone else running into this? How do I resolve without being forced into resetting the entire phone?

Try changing wall papers and reboot a few times.
Just tried that, but no luck.
The strange thing is that it's only the quick settings panel and volume/power panel. Folders are showing up correctly.

I also have the same issue. I had mine set to auto and it randomly switched over to dark.
I've been on dark theme since I got my Pixel 3 but this morning I switched it to automatic and my app drawer, and Google discover feed turned white based on my wallpaper but the volume UI as well as quick tiles stayed black. I switched for forced white, rebooted several times and it's still not completely white as it's supposed to be. Hope someone comes up with a solution.

I really don't know if this will help, but, have you tried removing or adding some of the QS icons and then rebooting. What the heck, worth a try I reckon.

That was a good suggestion, I also thought of that and unfortunately it didn't work. When you pull down QS and click the edit button there is even a reset option in the top right which I tried as well. Changed wallpapers several times, rebooted the phone both regularly as well as into safe mode. Still stays in dark theme. It has to be something server side Google accidentally did similar to recently when they accidentally switched all Pixel phones to battery saver mode over night. Who knows, hoping it gets fixed soon.

Bummer man. Hopefully the googleites will get it resolved for you all. If your bootloader unlocked, have you tried fastbooting the factory image. Or, factory resetting?
I'm glad I'm not alone. I ended up resetting the phone. Hopefully a fix is in the works cause I ain't resetting again.

Just had this issue this morning.
I figured it out that, if you go into Android Messages app, and disable Dark theme in that app, then the System UI changes back to the Light theme, (if that is what is selected, or should be using based on wallpaper)
I have already reported this to Google, and they had an engineer work with me to get a Bug Report sent to them.
OMG you're right. I just tried it. Looks like the Messenger update pushed last night to my phone doesn't address the issue yet.
Have a solution to this issue (one that will allow me to keep Messages app in dark theme). The problem is Settings > System > Developer Settings > Night Mode is stepping on Settings > Display > Advanced > Device Theme. The Night Mode setting in developer settings I had it set to "Always" and it was keeping the notification shade from turning white with the rest of the launcher stuff. I turned that to "Always off" and now in the display settings if I set the device theme to light, the notification shade turns white, if I set it to dark, the notification shade turns dark as it should.
Another workaround:
Instead of turning off dark theme in Messages, just toggling the Battery saver on off will do the trick
Had the same issue - this fixed it!
Stuck on Light Theme , Dark don't work
in Advance Display Setting, Dark Mode don't work ! It's Selected But, Setting Menu Still Light.
I also see this, and can change the system theme from the messages theme. Strange.
Another weird quirk is the lock screen font color is black. This seemed to have happened after updating the January security patch. Anything else have this issue?

Had anybody been able to enable dark mode on Gmail and Google Now?
I believe some of these are Android 10 updates, could be the reason why we are not seeing them.
no luck on Gmail. but Google app is indeed dark mode enabled
In Developers Options you can enable "force dark mode" which will forcibly enable dark mode for apps originally not having it. For example Facebook app will turn to dark with this option enabled.
Unfortunately this option get disabled after reboot.
Is there a way to keep it enabled? May be some hack (for non-root) exists?
No... It's for safety precautions
Make a Bixby Routine to enable Dark Mode when you need it.

that will not enable dark mode for facebook. Facebook does not support dark mode and hence you either enable it in developer options to forcibly make fb dark (and break swiftkey keyboard and other apps) until restart, or you delete fb and use a webpage of fb in samsung browser in dark mode (the moon icon on the browser).

Hey all,
I have downloaded Snapchat on my Mi 10 Ultra. I am facing an issue with the friends list that I have. Everything in the app works great. But, when I try to send a photo or a video, the next page for selecting the names of people I want to send it to is in white and the names are in white too!! When I check any name it gets changed to blue and I could see who I selected. But, before that I couldn't see anything.
Side Note: I have enabled Dark Mode. Because, I do not like a bright phone. I am keeping this all the time. But, is it the thing that is causing the issue? How will I mitigate it?
Note: I have just tried changing to Light mode instead of Dark and all the names appeared without an issue. So, how do I get Snapchat to show names in other color other than Light grey and white in Dark mode so I can see them.
The problem is, that functionality of some apps gets broken when MIUI goes into Dark mode - it's more than a system theme, it forces dark mode onto apps as well.
For this reason, there's an option under Settings -> Display -> Dark mode -> (scroll down a bit to see the Advanced section) -> Individual apps.
There, tap the search bar if the app list doesn't come up at first and look for Snapchat, or whatever you need, and toggle dark mode off for this app.
Is there a way to turn on dark mode without having the apps going dark? I want to keep all apps light but have system dark mode on.

I think apps choose theme according to which system is using at the moment.
If android is set to dark mode, apps will be with dark theme too.
Some apps though allow to manually set desired theme.
