Bug Reports

Describe the Bug
The country dropdown menu in the API Group creation form displays with a light/white background that clashes with the dark theme, causing poor text readability and contrast issues.

Expected Behavior
The country dropdown should maintain the dark theme consistent with the rest of the API Group creation interface, ensuring proper text contrast and visibility of country names like “Tunisia” and “United States.”

Actual Behavior
The dropdown renders with a bright light background while the surrounding form fields (API Group Name, Description, Address Line 1, City, Zip) remain dark-themed, making selected countries barely readable against the white backdrop.Screenshot-2026-01-10-221850.jpg​

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the API Groups section in Perplexity dashboard

2. Click “Create new group”

3. Fill in basic fields (API Group Name, Description)

4. Click on the Country field dropdown (located below City and Zip fields)

5. Observe the dropdown menu appearing with light theme while rest of form stays dark

API Request & Response (if applicable)

Environment

SDK (if applicable): N/A
Operating System: Windows (inferred from screenshot styling)

Date: January 10, 2026

Logs or Screenshots (if applicable)

Additional Context
This theming inconsistency affects usability during API Group creation, particularly when selecting countries. The issue appears specific to the dropdown component CSS not inheriting the dark theme properly. No console errors observed.
