Wordpress Widget "is_active_sidebar" always returns true

I want to create a facebook-like-box widget in wordpress:

<div class="widget-content">
            <div class="fb-like-box" 
                data-href="<?php echo $fbpageurl; ?>" 
                data-width="260" 
                data-colorscheme="<?php if ( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-1') ) { echo "light"; } else { echo "dark"; } ?>"
                data-show-faces="true" 
                data-header="false" 
                data-stream="false" 
                data-show-border="false"
            ></div>
        </div>

other file:

register_sidebar( array(
            // [...]
            'id' => 'sidebar-1',
            // [...]
    ) );

If I use the widget, it always return the "true" value... I don't know why. My other sidebar names are "sidebar-2", "sidebar-3"...

I think it's better to use is_dynamic_sidebar(), because this Conditional Tag checks if the current sidebar has active widgets, not like is_active_sidebar() that check only the sidebar is active or not (in use).

is_active_sidebar returns true if any widget is active inside of sidebar even if sidebar isn't shown on that page.

I can see that your trying to change color but I can't seem to figure out how and why. Maybe some more info would help figuring the solution to your problem.
