Dark/light mode on lock screen...

Same “dark media player” issue for me (using Overcast). I had to switch my black wallpaper to a lighter one, to compensate.
It's just a guess based on what I see, but, both the music lock screen notification (because it's not really a widget on the main screen) and the Do not disturb notification have dark background. The only thing they have in common is that they are persistent in one way or another. So I'm assuming the dark background is for persistent (system?) notifications?
Ah, maybe yeah - good call.
...though I just tested with a Reminder (which is just as "persistent" as the DND notification; it sits there unless you dismiss it), and that's white/clear/whatever.

I don’t use reminders and don’t have it installed, but that’s where inconsistent design comes in place. Maybe someone at Apple considered the reminder a more important persistent notification, so... dark is for persistent, not so important notification types?
That makes sense. (Of course, widgets themselves -- on the widget screen -- are "persistent" and "low-priority," yet they're light. More inconsistency, I guess.)
I don't mind the DND alert being dark, but I wish the media player were light again.

My Airpods are crackling now when I double tap on them and I go to speak. Also it seems like that it's not hearing me as well now too.
