The pen, which is intended to be black, appears white when dark mode is enabled. This behavior is related to the way Apple\u2019s system handles color changes between light mode and dark mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drawing view relies on Apple\u2019s system drawing tools, which use a color called \u201clabel.\u201d This color automatically changes from black in light mode to white in dark mode. As a result, when using dark mode, the black pen tool displays as white, which can be frustrating for those who expect the pen to remain black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there isn\u2019t a fix available from our end, as this behavior is controlled by Apple\u2019s system. However, there&#8217;s a workaround: if you disable dark mode on your device while using the drawing feature, the black pen will appear as expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>            How to draw in Day One on iPhone or iPad with your finger or Apple Pencil (iPad
