Troubleshooting Arden Search, Dark Mode and Theme Designer

Resolve Arden search-overlay issues, dark colors that appear unchanged and Theme Designer preview confusion.

Search opens but results are unexpected

Arden submits to Blogger’s normal site search. Check the query on the resulting Blogger search page and make sure your posts contain the terms readers are likely to search for.

A dark color seems unchanged

Switch the preview to dark appearance before editing the dark palette. Light and dark colors are separate.

A Theme Designer width seems unchanged

Use a wide preview. Available browser space limits site, reading and sidebar widths.

Custom CSS seems to override a control

Check any code you added in Blogger’s CSS editor. Custom CSS can override Arden’s normal Theme Designer values.

The appearance choice does not seem to persist

Try changing the mode with Arden’s header toggle and navigating to another page. If the browser blocks storage, Arden may fall back to the device preference instead.
