Even though I have a theme_color set in my PWA manifest the status bar does not change colour as it does with Chrome on my Android Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

    Hi @Alan Bradbury,

    Based on your description, I can provide you with the following suggestions for your reference:

    1. You can try to clear the browser cache and make sure that Microsoft Edge is the latest version.
    2. Please check whether the theme-color value of the name attribute in the HTML <meta> element is used, which may override the specified theme colors in the manifest file.
    3. Please check whether the preference for light or dark mode is set in Edge, which may also adjust the applied theme color based on user preferences. If a user has set a preference for light or dark mode, Edge may override the manifest theme color value to support any prefers-color-scheme media query defined in the app's CSS.
