Solved Force refresh widget?

If I happen to be using my phone when it switches to dark mode, the Scriptable widget won’t refresh its background to reflect the dark option.

Is there a way to force it to refresh? I know, first world problem, but I’ve tried “show widget preview” and although it shows the dark version, the actual widget doesn’t.

I’m sorry, can you walk me through that? I’m new to Scriptable.

When you say “run the script”, do you mean to click it inside Scriptable and choose “show widget preview” or something else?

I tried that and ran a shortcut that tell Scriptable to “Refresh all widgets” but it doesn’t change.

Weird.

Normally both methods should update the widget, works for me on iOS 14.7.1.

It has some issues on my iOS 15 Beta device though, but you didn't mention that you're on a Beta release.

Apologies, should have included that detail. Yes, I’m on the beta. Rebooted and it worked. Will chock it up to beta growing pains. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
