[Request] Dark Theme

[Valinwolf]

This app is the perfect companion to my Piwigo gallery, but at night my eyes are burned to a crisp when using the app. I'd love to see a dark theme added.

[ramack]

yes definitely we need this.

@voriondev I remember we had discussed about it, because I think the dialogs that you recently added are already shown dark or white depending the current android wide theme. So it would be best to use those dynamic colors also for the background of the app. - I guess he orange /primary color) could stay the same in both modes.

@ramack while that should definitely be the default, it would be nice to have a setting to choose between dark, light, or "auto"

[ramack]

which is part of #44 yes

[ramack]

As the settings are there, I think it would be great to get this also, soon with the options

• Dark,
• Light
• Auto - which reuses the setting from Android on system level

In addition it would be great to also have a black theme. Thanks for your work - really like the app

@nr458h what do you mean exactly? And what is the use to have a dark and a black theme? Maybe because I personally don't use the dark themes I don't get the point. Maybe you can point use to screenshots from an ap with dark and black themes or mock a few piwigo screenshots in paint?

A good example would be AuroraDroid. It has a dark and a black theme.

The benefit of a black theme is if you have an AMOLED display there is less energy needed and it especially in the night doesn't stresses the eyes that much.

In my setup it is also a point of consistence as almost every app, the launcher and the os is in a black theme.

closed by #201. @nr458h we do not distinguish between dark and black. Actually the dark theme is black, I hope that's ok for you...

of course - great!
