Debugger doesn't work in Windows 10 dark mode

[arklanq]

Problem:
Debugger does not start completely. There are no errors or visual cues. All I can see is multiple processes of "React Native Debugger" in task manager.

Steps to reproduce:
On Windows 10 -> Go to settings -> Personalization -> Colors -> Choose dark mode -> try to launch debugger.

Extra info:
The problem may also be related to dark mode in chrome.

React Native Debugger app version: v0.10.6 (latest stable release)
React Native version: Expo SDK 36.0.0
Platform: N/A
Is real device of platform: N/A
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro, version 1909

Start the react native debugger app in light mode then switch to Dark Mode once it starts.

Yea, I know it, but i just wanted to report the bug - maybe it could be resolved in the future.

This may be Electron's problem (electron/electron#19468).
It has been 6 months since that issue raised on Electron.
Still no news from Electron team. No fix.

For now, we can only use 0.9.14.

Looks like the problem already fixed in 0.11.0-beta-4, I think it's because of the update the Electron to v8.2.0

I have the same problem using dark mode. Cannot use 0.11.0-beta-4 because I'm using expo SDK 37 on React native <0.62

I can use debugger in Expo SDK 37. Just make sure that you have this:

"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-37.0.0.tar.gz",

instead of this:

"react-native": "0.61.4",

Also delete node_modules & start with command "expo r -c" instead of "expo start".
