Dark theme #116

Closed MichaelMcDonnell closed 3 years ago

It would be nice to have a dark theme in addition to the current light theme. A system dark theme was added to Android 10 [1]. A lot of apps implement a dark theme that is independent of the Android version and system settings.

I use dark theme on my apps to avoid bright lights at night which disturb the circadian rhythm. Dark themes can additionally lower power usage on phones with OLED screens.

This is something we want to work on in the future

The light theme could be improved, too. It's almost impossible to recognize the small icons on this blue background, especially rain and snow.

sleep-yearning commented 3 years ago

Do you mean rain and snow are hard to distinguish from each other? On the devices I test, it is not too small/hard to see. Please elaborate

hurzl commented 3 years ago

It's grey on blue, almost the same brightness, little dots or drops, very hard to distinguish. The smaller the harder. ... the background and symbol brightness and color depends on the weather? I don't understand the logic behind it and it also means that you get non-distinguishable combinations ..

The weather icons were made more easily distinguishable recently. A dark theme was also implemented. Closing this issue.
