add beta light/dark mode

[giovanni-ercolano]

I've added the appearance change within the app, unfortunately at the moment it doesn't render as well as it could but this is due to some pages not being complete. That said at the moment the choice between light or dark is not saved this is why I wanted to ask how to proceed, I was thinking of using shared_preferences to save locally.

Good work! The color scheme seems ok but I noticed some minor issues here and there:

1. In the dashboard the account names and amounts are white which makes them really hard to read

2. In the settings the icons are dark black and blue while in the dashboard are white and darkblue

3. Under the dark mode icon I see the icon for the currency in white (also it might not be centered)

4. In the "New transaction" page the name for the account and the date might be a little bit hard to read since they are dark grey

5. The line graph in the dashboard and graphs page need to be adapted to support also the dark mode

As you can see this are all pretty small things that we can clarify also with the help of @federicopozzato but overall as I already said I think it looks fantastic!

Hi guys! Thank you for reaching out to me for this issue.

For the icons it may be needed a dark version of them with the white color as a main one. I can provide them in the figma in the dark mode section and then you can export them.

For the texts.... yes you're right, thank you for pointing out those problems! I think that if you can override the color and use a dark one for when the contrast is not enough, that would be awesome. On my side, i can provide a dark version for the categories and accounts color (it will be the same hue as the ligh mode, but with a bit less brightess).

I'll wait for a confirmation of yours to preceed with the things i mentioned.

Thank youuuu

Sounds good to me, thanks! You can post any update here then 😁

Thank you for pointing out these small problems, I will fix them in time. As for the icons, I await updates regarding a possible dark version. Thank you all for your help and availability, this is my first contribution to an open source project, I am glad you are enjoying it. For any other updates feel free to contact me or write here in the comments.

So I've cheched better the icon issue and I've noticed that the one currently used are an old version of the ones that there are on figma: the icons are now fill with a white color, so they look good also in the dark mode. You can find both kind of icons (light and dark version) in the "components" frame in figma.

As for the colors, I've updated all the palettes' frames to help you guys understand them better, and I've added the dark mode version of the accounts and categories colors.

The icons for the dark mode switch and the currency selections are not in figma because that "general settings" page hasn't been designed yet, but I suggest to use a switch for the dark/light mode, and a selector for the currency.

Perfect thank you very much @federicopozzato , I have already adopted the changes you made, I in the meantime have already fixed points 1, 2 and 3 mentioned by @theperu , as soon as I finish these days I will show you the result.

As for the general settings page for now I am leaving the icon style like this until it is decided how to proceed.

Hi, thank you for this contribution, very good approach! Beyond what already been said, I'm adding a couple more minor issues: To keep a consistent coding style, we use relative paths when importing files from within our app.

Before: import 'package:sossoldi/model/example.dart';

After: import 'model/example.dart';

As long as we use it consistently, any of the two styles will have the same performance. However, it's important not to mix them as that might lead to some issues. So please check you imports.

Also, we would greatly appreciate if you could remove all files outside /lib folder from this request, as not pertinent and related to your specific system.

Thank you again!!
